The human side of building a career in tech.
There's more to a career in tech than certs and tickets.
Hi! I'm Danny
When I landed in Australia, I had the experience. What I didn't have was the contacts or any understanding of the local market. No reputation, no one to vouch for me. My first break came through a chance connection. And it wasn't an engineering role. It was the helpdesk.
The Australian IT industry runs on vendor events and product pushes. There's almost nothing built for the engineers on the other side of that. The ones who implement it, support it, and keep it running.
Beyond the Terminal exists because I couldn't find it when I arrived. I built the thing I wish had existed.
