About
I'm Cole McKnight. I split my working life between two practices: on the technical side, DevOps, cloud architecture, and site reliability; on the rescue side, technical rescue, public safety diving, festival medicine, and EMS.
Both jobs reward calm under pressure. Both punish you for skipping fundamentals. Both depend on a small group of people who trust each other to do the boring work right so the hard work is survivable.
The technical practice
Replace this section with a deeper bio of your tech work — companies, scope, the kinds of systems you've owned, the philosophy you bring to reliability work.
The rescue practice
Replace this section with the story of how you got into rescue work, the teams you operate with, the certifications you carry, and what keeps you doing it.
