Hi there, I'm Julian Orchard

Welcome to my slice of the www...

I'm a DevOps Engineer working on backend systems for video games! My day-to-day work involves a lot of CI/CD automation, game migrations, and making Grafana drippy. I'm also a long time GitHub contributor, enjoyer of Linux, vegetarian, and father of two.

I like using Go, Python, Lua, HCL, Jsonnet (whenever I can find an excuse to use it!), TypeScript, and PowerShell (the most over-hated and powerful scripting language!).

Previously, I was a Marketing Coordinator who worked on front-end web development with PHP, scripting, automation, and other technical bits.

I have spent a lot of time learning and becoming efficient using Neovim... I might write about things I've learned, occasionally, on my blog.
