Hi, I'm Dean.

I work in technology leadership, spend a fair bit of time figuring things out, and occasionally have something worth writing down.

This is a little corner of the internet for things I've learned, thoughts I've had and whatever else takes my interest.

A little about me

My career has taken me through commercial operations, IT support, software development and technology leadership. These days, I spend more time thinking about where technology can make a difference, how to make good decisions, and how to help people succeed.

When I'm not in front of a computer, I enjoy the outdoors, whether that's hiking, camping or getting out on the motorcycle.

Occasional notes

A few thoughts, observations and things I've picked up along the way.
