What's the deal with this website? Well... I wanted to fill in some gaps in my cloud knowledge with something practical. I came across the Cloud Resumé Challenge. I decided to adapt it into my own website. What's Jarlhammer? It's a beer I made and a game handle I use. The beer was the first I ever brewed and it was pretty decent.

My Job
I am a Solutions Architect at Spot.io. We provide Continuous Optimization to help control costs in complex cloud environments. It's cool technology.
My Life
I'm a father of two smart, chaotic and fun boys, and a husband to a moderately patient wife.
My Hobbies
I game a few nights a week, PS5 or PC. I also take photographs of anything and everything, using either a Fuji X-T3 or an X-Pro2. You can see some of my efforts at Murderchaque.
