When my father brought home a Sinclair ZX Spectrum+ computer when I was 10, something clicked — I knew I'd spend my life building with technology. That curiosity hasn't stopped since.
Today, I'm a husband and father of two wonderful boys, and the founder of TeKanAid. With 20+ years across development, operations, networking, DevOps, and sales engineering — including time as a Sr. Solutions Engineer at HashiCorp — I now focus on helping engineers future-proof their careers at the intersection of Platform Engineering and AI.
I believe in teaching with hands-on demos, real source code, and zero dead ends. If my surgeon father taught me anything, it's that knowledge is meant to be passed forward.
