About Me

My name is Alex Dinh and I am an IT Consultant based in Sydney, NSW Australia.

This is my personal tech blog where I write about various IT topics, automation and on how I have put this site together.

Experience

My IT career started as a Systems Engineer in 2011. From the early beginning, automation has always been my passion.

Throughout the years, I’ve grown to love the field of DevOps and I am very greatful to have been exposed to various different technologies and that eventually got myself into being a Solutions Architect.

Although I am now a Senior Solutions Architect working for a large IT consultancy firm specialising in AWS, I often find myself hands on with the tools and my passion for automation, infrastructure management and development hasn’t stopped.

  • Python, PowerShell, Ansible and Shell (bash)
  • Git
  • CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline etc.)
