๐ Connor Freebairn
Iโm a Tier 3 infrastructure and escalation engineer specialising in modernising, securing, and stabilising multi-tenant and regulated estates. My work spans everything from homelab prototyping to large multi-site clusters across datacentres and restricted environments. I deliver managed and co-managed services, deep diagnostics and root cause analysis, DR and resilience validation, security hardening, automation (PowerShell / Ansible), and clear, reusable documentation.
Outside of work, Iโve volunteered as a shift controller with Blood Bikes Cumbria and I run a long-standing 10 Gbps Ubuntu archive mirror. When Iโm not at a terminal, youโll usually find me experimenting with PLC logic, out touring (and fettling) my motorcycle, hunting down the next pot of coffee, or enjoying a tuna Subway.
