About Me
I'm Marks Polakovs.
I'm a DevOps, software dev, broadcast, and theatre tech person based out of Cambridge (UK).
Work
I currently work as a DevOps Engineer at Darktrace.
Before that I was a part-time Digital Support Technician at the University of York Students' Union, where in addition to first- and second-line user support I gave training sessions, developed internal systems, and contributed to a full redesign and rebuild of our website (it's public!).
Before that I did a Year in Industry at Couchbase in Manchester, rotating through first- and second-line technical support and back-end development roles. (Some of my contributions there are public!)
Not Work
I went to the University of York, where I probably spent more time in the student radio and television scene than I did doing my degree (don't tell my lecturers). This gave me a lot of my initial software development, systems admin, and DevOps experience.
I built and maintained systems there to handle internal processes, such as member management and show scheduling, broadcasting from home, and media management for live broadcast.
