About

Hiya, I'm Katy. I've been an education Network Manager since 2005, with a brief 2 and a half years as a Modern Workplace Consultant 2022-2024. Working in education means I'm spread across every bit of technology we use and often have to come up with clever solutions to problems.

In 2021 I was awarded the Microsoft MVP Award in the Enterprise Mobility group, this was renewed in 2022 with a dual award in Enterprise Mobility and Security.

Besides that I spend a bit of time writing web applications in PHP, CSS etc, Windows forms applications in C# and various scripts in PowerShell.

When I'm not at work, or playing with something technical at home, I'm a massive rollercoaster nut (see my rollercoaster blog) and love walking through forests and also do a lot of DIY. At home I've got a small home lab running Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V which runs my home network and also gets used for testing/learning/development work.

I'm open to suggestions for blog posts so if you've got any ideas you'd like to see me cover just send me a tweet @coaster_katy.

I generally use Scenarium by Icojam for the decorative images on my blog posts.
