Hi, I'm Shane 👋
I'm a full stack software engineer specialising in web applications, cloud and design. I have a passion for creating applications for the web and cloud, and solving problems using technology. I also believe that the web should be a delight to use and understand, so I have a strong focus on usability and good design.
I have a degree in Interaction Design from the University of Canberra completed in 2022, and have worked at Instaclustr, an open source SaaS provider, since 2020.
I've been a developer for the past three years, however I have been working in the technology field for long before that, with five years of systems administration and support experience.
Here are some of the languages and tools I work with:
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- HTML / CSS / Sass
- Node / NPM
- Java
- Python
- Bash
- Docker
- Git

Some Things I've Written
Redis vs Memcached
Caching is an important step in increasing the performance of many applications. In this article I compare Redis and Memcached.
Exploring the Power of Logstash
Logstash is a tool for sending logs to Elasticsearch. In this post I learn how it works and map live satellite location data directly onto a heatmap.
Elastic Beats and Where They Fit With ELK Stack
Using Docker and Elastic Beats I push live satellite data from dozens of satellites into OpenDistro for Elasticsearch.
Running A Prometheus Server on AWS ECS
In this blog post I detail how to create a custom Prometheus container and configuration to run on AWS ECS.
