I’m Bill Plein, and I’ve started, and abandoned, a few blogs over the past couple of years. It wasn’t until the announced acquisition of a prior employer that I decided I needed a place to put down my thoughts, even if there wasn’t anything particular that I needed to say. This is that place.
I currently am employed as a Principal Cloud Native Architect (Sales) with Portworx by Pure Storage.
I can be found in the Fediverse (Mastodon et al) at https://bvp.me/@bpleinMy PGP public key can be found here http://plein.org/pgp and is printed below.
