About
#

Hello, I’m Chris Wiggins, Currently I’m an infrastructure engineer building the tech infrastructure to enable companies to run, scale, etc. Previously I was a site reliability engineer, systems engineer, and Linux administrator.

I have a passion for technology, and I’m always looking to learn new things.

I maintain a homelab, and you should too!

Facts about me.

  • Vim is my editor of choice, even as a full blown IDE.

Opinions
