Hello! My name is John Harbin and I’m a Strategic Architect focusing on Cloud and Cloud-adjacent technologies. I’ve worked within the IT field for greater than 20 years, doing everything from helpdesk/technical support to systems administration and now solutions architecture.

From a personal perspective, I’m a dad of 5 awesome kiddos with a 12 year age-gap from the youngest to the oldest. I get to experience ALL of the developmental phases simultaneously…yay! ( <– sarcasm) When the kids aren’t here, the role of sleep deterrent falls to Winchester, a mostly well-meaning beagle.

During the amazingly rare instances of free time, I’m enjoying boardgames, D&D, or getting a shift in with Habitat for Humanity (you should check it out!).

That’s the “Who?”, so I guess the “What?” and “Why?” are that I’ll share some of the things that I’m working on, studying for, or just experiencing as I make my way through this life. 🙂 Hoping to give myself some accountability while I work toward various personal and professional goals. “When?” Hell if I know….guess we’ll just have to see.
