What can I say…it’s been a long time between drinks and looking back on the past couple of years it’s certainly been a frustrating time for us in the tech industry. As technologists, we haven’t really been able to do the job that we love…that thing is attending events, networking and talking about the technology […] Read More

Cloud Field Day 12 has come and gone…and for the third time virtually, I had the pleasure of presenting to the delegates.
