I am Mark Hibberd. I day-job as CTO at Kinesis.

I find functional programming useful, distributed systems interesting and FreeBSD convenient.

Writing

I rarely write things outside of a work context anymore, but when I do:

• 2020-04-25

  Quality: Personal responsibility or gate-keeping?

• 2017-03-02

  Code review

• 2016-07-15

  Making progress on side projects

Talks

I enjoy talking at user-groups and conferences. At the moment I am most interested in talking about: operating the systems you build; building reliable systems; and moving past technical skills as a CTO. If you are interested in me speaking, let me know via email: mark@hibberd.id.au
