Hey there — I’m Dominic 👋

I’m a roaming cloud & security engineer fueled by curiosity and systems thinking — from automating Kubernetes clusters and hardening networks to translating technical patterns into immersive soundscapes. When I’m not in front of a terminal, you’ll likely find me on a trail, passport in hand, soaking up new horizons and local cuisine.
