About
Thanks for dropping in!
I'm Lindsay, a cloud engineer based in Melbourne who made the jump from disability support work to IT. Both Stacks is where I share everything I've picked up along the way.
I run Linux at home, work with Google Cloud professionally, and build side projects with AI tools like Claude and Gemini. This channel covers the full stack of my tech life.
Think of it as a mate showing you something cool, not a polished tech influencer.
