If you're saying to yourself, this isn't a business website, yeah, you're right. I bought the domain because I thought it was cool and unique (and chrisknowles.com has been taken forever by some guy in England).  In here, I will provide lots of information on all the stuff that makes me ... well, me!  I do have a "day job" but I do lots of different things on the side. So, this site is where I get to put some of that "stuff" out there in the ether about all of that. Given that, there is some business stuff here, mixed in with all the personal stuff.  Since I don't declare any of these costs on my greatly-inflated taxes, no harm, no foul.

Also, my interests tend to shift from one place to another over time (and then back again) and I am rather obsessive when I delve into a new area - well, except for Technology that is.  That seems to have been put in my DNA by the Lord God Almighty Himself ... it will always be a part of who I am AND what I do.

Why Fortis Fortuna Aduivat?

Well, as a true lover of the John Wick Universe, I have decided that my new personal motto is Fortune Favors the Bold. Not because I want to be John Wick (although, that would be pretty cool), but because there is no point to living this life unless you're going to pursue it with everything you have.

As a seasoned and broadly experienced technologist, I enjoy doing all types of things (architecture, cloud technologies, software engineering, consulting, etc.) if you want to see more of my experience, you can view my LinkedIn profile.

There are certain limitations on the types of work I can perform based on my current employment, but I am more than willing to discuss any possibility for remote/part-time engagement or collaboration.
