About Me

My name is Rob or commonly known online, Robachicken.

I currently work as a Principal CSE for Vercel and used to work as a third line support technician for a few different IT companies across Sussex. This site isn’t about me, but instead is a collection of stuff I come across in my job and at home.

Being at Vercel, I primarily work with newer tech such as Next.js, AI and other fun cutting-edge web features. Back in my MSP days, I predominantly worked on Microsoft systems, but I also worked with a wide variety of other technologies, including: VMware, Hyper-V, Windows Servers, Exchange, RDS, Citrix, SQL, IIS, Microsoft 365, Asterisk PBX and Linux servers (mainly LAMP stacks).

In my own time I run a small fleet of VPSs, running a variety of different tools and web services. I enjoy tinkering with different things and having an excuse to break tinker with different applications and services.

Frequently, I come across people’s personal blogs which are infinitely many times better than support articles, so I feel this is my chance to document give back to the community.

Don’t ask why Robachicken, just accept it.
