Andy Denley
I’m a senior engineer in Auckland, New Zealand. I work on cloud, infrastructure, automation and Microsoft 365, and I use AI to help with all of it. This is my personal site: my CV, the things I build, and the odd engineering note. In my own time I build SouthpawStrings.com, a guitar practice site for left-handed players.
