Portrait of Nicholas Perry

NICHOLAS PERRY

I came up through help desks and retail IT, moved into cloud and DevOps, and now I'm an SRE. The day job is keeping big systems upright, so I know how things break.

After hours I build apps and websites: card games from the cookout, tools for people I know, and whatever the latest anime or game put in my head.
