Some Information About KF5U

/user/pages/01.home/03._aboutme/sstv-card.webp

Name here is James. I am an award-winning cloud infrastructure architect for an Energy Sector company. I have been in the tech industry for a little over 23 years, where I started out as a Linux Engineer and Network Engineer, moving into Systems Engineering and Architecture, then on to Cloud Infrastructure, and now in the Artificial Intelligence space.

Digital modes and SDR are my initial passions due to my technical background. I work a lot of FT4, FT8, and SSB. I try to get out to do POTA as much as I can. I believe that getting out and playing radio is an important step to educating the public about amateur radio and bringing more people to hobby.
