About Me

Welcome! I'm Patrick Evans, a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer working in Healthcare IT. I'm passion about building reliable, maintainable systems and open source software.

My journey begain with writing sneaker bots in JavaScript, while studying Electrical Engineering in college. I started my career in systems administration, but quickly gravitated to site reliability engineering. From there I moved into management, building foundational processes as my organization transitioned into an IaC and development-first mindset.

Here, you’ll find my insights on both technical and managerial aspects of DevOps, SRE, and software development. Expect posts ranging from personal project highlights and effective code review to team-building strategies and industry trends. Thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to share my journey and experiences with you.
