Just a quick note. Saw Doctor Strange tonight with my wife, a friend, and two new friends.

I’m an IT practitioner who’s spent my career working where technology meets people—translating complex systems into clear, usable experiences. Whether leading IT initiatives, shaping product strategy, or supporting developer‑focused work, I’m driven by helping others understand the tools they rely on and get real value from them. My background spans Product Management, Community Management, Developer Relations, and IT leadership, all rooted in a deep commitment to education and user advocacy.

I’m also an avid believer in the power of online communities—how they connect people, accelerate learning, and make technology more approachable. I tinker constantly, run a home lab, and share experiments, lessons learned, and deep dives on my blog. If you’re into technology, communities, or making complex things simpler, you’ll feel right at home.

ByKevin November 4, 2016November 2, 2016
Everyone in the #vDM30in30 challenge seems to be spouting off about their home labs. Before I moved to Austin, I had a home lab. It was a half-rack on the floor with 3 servers and two mass storage arrays coupled with a wiring cabinet on the wall with a cable modem, firewall, router, and switch. …

Zen and the Art of Monitoring
ByKevin November 2, 2016November 2, 2016
I’ve been thinking recently about complete stack monitoring and how a good solution should be like a teenager – it can primarily take care of itself, but occasionally needs to have someone step in and give it direction.

“Simple” software stack is often harder to design than complex systems.
Now it’s time to explain how my UTM + QR code builder works (without code).

The November Post-A-Day challenge (better known as #vDM30in30) has begun and I’m going to commit to making a post a day. I’ll be honest, I don’t know too much about the Virtual Design Management, but I do love a challenge – specifically this challenge.

Day 1 – Learn
ByKevin December 1, 2016December 1, 2016
Never stop learning. — twinspar I’ve tried to live by this simple core belief since I was very young. Continuing to challenge your brain is crucial to keeping happy in life (and in your career). In fact, one of my favorite hashtags to review every so often if #TIL (today I learned…). In IT, it…
