The person behind the broken things

Josh Kain

Systems Engineer based in Manchester, currently at Clio — working on the infrastructure, automation, and CI/CD pipelines that keep production running. Before that, over four years as a Software Developer at ShareDo building real-world applications in C# and JavaScript.

Started in tech the honest way — a Northcoders bootcamp, a barista who wanted options. Now I'm the person thinking about governance, IaC, and why that rushed deployment is going to cost someone a weekend in three months.

"Move fast where you can. Never rush the infrastructure."

Outside of work I run a homelab where I self-host services, tinker with networking, and build things that sometimes work exactly as intended. This site is one of them.
