i'm Ross Coull, an IT engineer out of Edinburgh. it's pretty nifty job. left school at 16, went straight into IT, been there ever since. i'd be fucked in any other career π₯²
you can check out my job history on linkedin. i've done a few things within IT, mostly as a frontline engineer handling day-to-day helpdesk tasks (on-premises and virtual), but now working in quality assurance
(frequently asked questions except they're not frequent because no one asked the questions and i just want them noted)
why thanks for asking! i'm using Atkinson Hyperlegible, a font family specifically made for readability. i do a bit of design on the side and this is my favourite font because of its attention to detail for low-vision readers, while looking nice (sorry, looking at you OpenDyslexia). and it's completely free and open to use for everyone!
in my house on my Dell PowerEdge R720 running Proxmox Virtual Environment!
