I architect and lead the infrastructure other people's software runs on.

I'm Gavin Taylor, a Technical Lead working on private cloud infrastructure, the automation, APIs, and teams that take hosting from hardware to service delivery. At the same company since 2008, moving from developer to architect, leading the engineering behind a platform used at scale.
