About
David Hill
IT Technician at Active Office, Kilmarnock. Ayr, Scotland.
I'm an IT professional with twenty years of experience across infrastructure, networking, and security. Most of that time has been spent keeping enterprise systems running — Microsoft 365 estates, Cisco networks, ISMS audit programmes, and the kind of day-to-day service delivery that makes a workplace function.
The work I've been doing more recently is different in tone, if not in substance. I completed 100 days of Python projects, built tooling inside Neovim, and shipped a Pygame game with the kind of polish that small projects reward. The throughline is the same: I want to understand the systems I work with end to end, and I'd rather build the thing than just buy it.
Right now that's pointing me toward agentic systems and the infrastructure they run on. I'm working through Google Gemini, learning Rust, and documenting the journey publicly. This site is part of that — a quiet corner of the open web where the work and the thinking can live side by side.
