Happy Birthday to my absolute love, Kevin 🎉🎁

I can’t describe how much I love Kevin. He’s brought so much joy to my life, and really has changed it so much.

I’ve discovered Hannibal (TV series) and I am obsessed!!
It’s so visually beautiful (excluding the actual murder 😅) and the dialog is so complex and elegant. I love it!

I'm going to frame this and put it on my work desk

What on earth is Red Note? Seriously I’m too old to be downloading another social media app.
I give up. I’m going back to bed.

You know I’ve talked way to much about my dog at work when someone asks “How was Kevin’s Christmas?” Instead of how was mine 😂

First day of 2025, physically in the office. And genuinely, it’s been about 3 months since I last came in 🤯

It is quite nice though to leave the house!

🎉 Today is my 1 year Googleversary! 🎉

I'll be honest, I was so nervous to start at Google. After working in my last job for nearly 5 years, change felt really scary. Plus changing what Cloud provider I would be working on, felt like it could be quite risky. But it was a risk worth taking.

📣 I re-wrote the Google Cloud Architecture Framework: Reliability pillar! 📣

If it wasn't clear by now, Cloud resilience and reliability are my jam, so to get to re-write the pillar was awesome (nerd! 🤓)

Go on, have a read cloud.google.com/architecture...

It's that time between Christmas and New Year where I have no idea what day of the week it is, or frankly, who I am or what I do

I believe a Christmas tree should be chaotic, messy and look like the Christmas spirit threw up on it! 🎄

So here are my 4 fav decorations:

Waffles, croissant, a hotel that looks like The Grand Budapest and a space mouse! 🧇 🥐

Show me yours!

🇪🇸I’ve just come back from 4 lovely weeks working remotely in Spain, thanks to Googles ‘4 Weeks Work From Anywhere’ policy

It was such a good opportunity to get a change of scenery, a renewed sense of motivation and a general reset- and yes, a bit of winter sun! 😎

(In my nerdy world) I'm writing a cool document at the moment which when published will be such a proud moment, but man is technical writing hard!

The ability to make sure your audience understands the concepts and details, but not waffling on? Its a skill!

Hello Bluesky!💙

As someone who was a big fan of Twitter, I was so disheartened to see what it became.

I'd built quite a nice little community of over 20k followers & loved chatting, but its no longer a good place

So I'm very excited to see what Bluesky is all about. Come say hi! 👋
