👋 Hi there! I'm Martin-Louis Bright, a software engineer living in Toronto, Canada, with over 20 years of experience in information technology.
I naturally gravitate toward networking, cloud computing, and Linux system administration.
Agents write most of my Python, Bash, Terraform, Rust, Go, and C, usually in an SSH session from a few tmux panes at once. I read more code than ever but I don't pick projects by language anymore (and I probably never should have). My career-long pledge to avoid languages prefixed with 'Java' has, in the past, limited my opportunities: now it is enabled by AI.
What's interesting is:
- which bytes are on the wire,
- whether the thing works or merely compiles,
- if it's properly tested,
- if it solves the problem for the organization
I'm currently working at cPacket Networks, where I operate mainly in AWS and Azure. Before that, I was a GitHub Enterprise site administrator at Autodesk. I'm at home on Linux (Ubuntu, still) and macOS, I think infrastructure as code and GitOps are great, and I embraced devops culture before it had a name.
