Welcome CV About Me Contact Credits Return To Top

Welcome

Hi, I’m Thomas Reilly — but you can call me Tom. I’m an experienced Systems Administrator based in Australia, with over a decade of hands-on expertise managing complex IT environments, from on-premise infrastructure to cloud-based solutions. I thrive on designing, implementing, and supporting resilient, secure, and efficient systems that empower organisations and their people.

This website is part of my ongoing passion for technology. It’s built using Hugo, a fast and flexible static site generator, and deployed seamlessly on Netlify. The choice of these tools reflects my commitment to simplicity, performance, and automation — principles I bring to my professional work as well.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
