Welcome to My Digital Brew

Hello and welcome to a space where technology and creativity ferment together into something extraordinary!

This blog is my personal brew pub, blending two of my passions:

  • DevOps: Expect posts on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), cloud computing, automation, coding best practices, and tips for navigating the ever-evolving tech landscape.
  • Home Brewing: Dive into the art and science of crafting mead—a traditional honey wine. From recipes and techniques to experiments and tastings, I’ll be sharing my journey one batch at a time.

Why “My Digital Brew”?

Just as brewing mead requires precision, patience, and creativity, so does working in tech. Whether it’s spinning up infrastructure in the cloud or crafting a perfect batch of orange creamsicle mead, I’ve found these two worlds share more in common than you might think. This blog is my way of bringing them together.

What to Expect

Here’s a taste of what’s on tap:

  • Tech Topics:

    • Step-by-step guides for automating cloud infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible.
    • Deep dives into DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
    • Coding tutorials and tips, with a focus on Python, Bash, and beyond.
    • Lessons learned over the years.

  • Mead Adventures:

    • Traditional mead recipes and flavor experiments.
    • Fermentation techniques, tips, and troubleshooting.
    • Mead-inspired tech analogies and lessons (yes, they exist!).

Join the Journey

Whether you’re a fellow tech enthusiast, an aspiring mead maker, or both, I hope you’ll find something here that sparks your interest. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s explore the intersection of tech and creativity together.
