I am an accomplished, innovative Backend Dev/DevOps Engineer, with skills in Cloud and Security

I blog at dev.to/johntellsall, mostly on "Fast Developer" and "Fast DevOps", but also Fast Startup. My focus is also on Quality but fast is what people search for :) Twitter is @johntellsall Best intro video is Fast DevOps Feedback with Terraform

My work in the last decade is mostly DevOps, and my strong Dev background leads to a unique viewpoint. Infra as Code is no problem -- DevOps tools can be rough, so adapting Developer Best Practices reduces risk, speeds up the feedback loop, and pays ROI forever.
