About Steve

Steve is a paramedic by day (and night) but is an ex-IT consultant who's worked for some large UK Telecommunications companies, as well as some in Finland, along with various other larger companies. Nowadays he tinkers with IT stuff - mostly around WordPress and Linux, but sometimes home security, sometimes Windows / WSL2 and even Minecraft. So there'll be posts on here that cover all sorts of weird and wonderful technical content that's varied and wide.
