Hello! I'm Peter

peter@peterkeenan.net (Peter Keenan) — Sun, 04 Jun 2023 11:11:39 +0100

I am interested in . . .

. . . tech

I'm an Engineer at Sage, where I've been since July 2021.

I initially joined as an Associate Developer, writing application code. I'm now in a more platform engineering/architectural role.

I'm a longterm user and lover of Linux. I settled on Arch Linux about three years ago and haven't had any temptation to distro-hop since.

I'm a tinkerer and tend to have a number of coding projects on the go!

Well over a year ago, I pulled down my modest, manually written HTML/CSS/JS website from peterkeenan.co.uk and put up a holding page. I have had a lovely, blazing fast NextJS site waiting in the wings, ready to go for that entire time. It was just lacking any substance, because I always ended up tinkering with styling or fun React stuff whenever I went into that code base rather than adding content.¹
