Welcome!

I’m Marcus Crane, a Site Reliability Engineer at Xero in Auckland, New Zealand.

I’m always moving this site around but you should be able to find everything on this site linked below. You can see changes listed in the CHANGELOG.

You can also view the source of this site on Gitlab.

I’m around the web in a bunch of places: github | gitlab | instagram | linkedin | twitter
