Welcome to Adrian's space.

I have over 35 years experience in the IT field - primarily software development. I have worn many hats: computer repair, network installation, trainer, system administrator, ethical hacker, software developer, and software development team manager.


“Avoid everything-is-a-software-pattern addiction and shiny new tech-stack syndrome. Best practices, patterns, and methodologies are just advice. Technology stacks are just tools. Understand the advice and learn the tools then determine common sense ways on when and how to use them. Be pragmatic.”
