Hi, I'm Dom.

I'm a DevOps Engineer from Somerset, currently working remotely for The Access Group.

Things I do professionally:

Write Terraform modules and implementation of said modules.

The infrastructure for this simple website is created and managed by Terraform (module, implementation).

Use Git.
Automate (almost) everything with Azure DevOps multi-stage (YAML) pipelines.
Use Bash and Powershell (core, I live in the real world) to automate "things" in Azure DevOps pipelines.
Use Packer to generate VM images.
Implement IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS using PaC and IaC. Thats a lot of acronyms...
Get paid 37.5k per annum.

Things I have previously done professionally, but do not currently do:

Used GitHub, but like who hasn't at this point.
Used Ansible.
Implemented and used Kubernetes (AKS).
FaaS with AWS Lambda.
Written small system integration programs with Node.js and Python.
Written comprehensive unit tests for those same programs.

Things I have done, but not professionally:

Typescript
GitHub Actions

This simple website is created and managed using GitHub Actions, see the code.

2D game development in the Godot game engine.

My DevOps ideology:

This is not a description of what DevOps is, for that I quite like Microsoft's definition, as I find that longer definitions try to define too much and get bogged down. This is simply a list of beliefs that I hold.

GitOps is the future
The trend of replacing Dev in DevOps with other words, or amalgamation to another word (DevSecOps) is a bit silly.
Rules are made to be broken by those who made them.
Everything as Code should be the default.
Virtual Machines in the cloud are (usually) a waste of money and potential. Seriously, PaaS and SaaS services exist, use them!
Kubernetes is overused and overhyped. The opposite is true about containers in general.
The best tool is:

Probably not the one you are currently using.
Probably not the industry standard.
Probably not worth rearchitecting your process/product for anyway.

Perfect is the enemy of good (this one is stolen verbatim from James Reed).
Code readability is often actually more important than code cleanliness.
