The author transitioned from pursuing a career in theater to finding his niche in IT, where he could combine his performance skills with technical knowledge. Over 27 years, he specialized in monitoring and observability, ultimately becoming a 'Head Geek' at a vendor. His passion for making complex concepts accessible and engaging became a central theme in his work. Writing also played an essential role in his career development, as it became an extension of his technical advocacy, making technology relatable to broader audiences.
I was able to take complex technical concepts and make them understandable, relatable, and even funny.
For the next 27 years, monitoring and observability was my jam. I used just about every tool out there.
The role allowed me to leverage the technical knowledge I'd acquired up until then, but weave in my penchant for writing and public speaking.
I've always been a person-who-writes. That writing naturally became part of my job as a Head Geek.
