About Me

David Childs September 11th, 2024 Categories: DevOps

Hey there! I'm David Childs, and I'm excited to share a bit about myself with you. Grab a seat, and let's dive into my world of tech, problem-solving, and writing!

I'm a Consulting Systems Engineer, which is a fancy way of saying I'm the go-to person for managing computer systems and data centers in big companies. Think of me as a behind-the-scenes superhero for technology!

Throughout my career, I've had the chance to work with all sorts of organizations, from small startups to huge corporations with thousands of employees. It's like being a tech doctor – I diagnose problems, find solutions, and make sure everything runs smoothly. I've got experience with different types of computer systems, including Linux, Windows, and VMware.

One of the things I enjoy most about my job is finding ways to make people's work easier and more efficient. I've created systems that automate tasks, saving teams a lot of time and effort. I also work on keeping software safe and up-to-date, which is crucial in today's digital world.

Over the years, I've taken on some exciting projects. I've helped companies move their old computer systems to newer, cloud-based solutions. This not only improves how things work but often saves money too. I've also coordinated large-scale software rollouts, making sure new programs are set up correctly across thousands of computers.

While I love working with technology, I have another passion that might surprise you – writing! That's right, when I'm not solving tech puzzles, I'm often found with a pen in hand or typing away at my keyboard. Writing is my creative outlet, a way to express ideas and tell stories that goes beyond the world of ones and zeros.

This passion for writing complements my tech work in unexpected ways. It helps me explain complex concepts more clearly and write better documentation for my projects. I'm always looking to improve both my technical and writing skills, seeing them as two sides of the same coin – ways to solve problems and communicate ideas effectively.

So that's me in a nutshell – a tech enthusiast with a love for the written word, always eager to learn and grow in both fields. Whether you want to chat about the latest in cloud computing or swap writing tips, I'm your guy!
