Hey, I'm
Andy Evans
Senior Platform Engineer · Sheffield, UK
I'm a platform engineer based in Sheffield, UK. I build and run the platforms that development teams ship on, often using Azure and Kubernetes, backed by around 15 years of hands-on software engineering in C# and .NET. I'm particularly interested in developer tooling, efficient computing and building great teams.
This is where I write about the things I'm building, the problems I'm solving, and the lessons I pick up along the way.
