Hi, I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him/his) 
, and I'm currently a Software Development Engineer 2 with a passion for backend engineering, especially with regard to APIs and automation.
I've been building up my experience working in a DevOps environment while working at Capital One UK as a Software Development Engineer and a Software Quality Engineer working on Consumer Identity, but I am now working on Third Party API engineering.
I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our beautiful terror of a cat Morph.
I use my site as a method of blogging about my learnings, as well as sharing information about projects I have previously, or are currently, working on in my spare time.
I'm a GNU/Linux user, a big advocate for the Free Software Movement, and the IndieWeb movement and I try to self host my own services where possible, instead of relying on other providers.
Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or using any of the other social links below.
Want to know why my site is www.jvt.me? Check out my post Why www.jvt.me?.
Below you can find my feed (h-feed), which includes all my content types on this site. If there's something in particular that you'd like to find, you may be looking for my blog posts, otherwise you can search for it.

Guys, I just checked the Ts & Cs of Zoom, House Party, FaceTime and Skype. Turns out you donβt have to take a photo of your screen and share it on social media every time you have a video call π

FYI: if you're having a committee meeting via Zoom and you use the chat function to privately write to someone, your colleagues may not see it in real time, but it shows up when the chat is downloaded and put in the minutes folder...

Holy smokes, someone forked GIMP into a new image editing app called Glimpse - to fix decades of UI failings, and because GIMP's name is a fucking embarrassment. This is the best news. glimpse-editor.orgScott Martin (@hex)Sat, 28 Mar 2020 22:20 GMT

Do I know of anyone using (Arch) #Linux on a new Dell XPS 13 9300? I'm very tempted to get one (in maybe a couple of months) but wonder what support is like? Especially the fingerprint sensor

I've gotten bored enough that I can now report, with certainty, that centuries of common knowledge can be overturned because a watched pot does indeed boil

Let's raid Area 51, but like instead of a physical raid we hack the CCTV and watch the Aliens from our sofas because social distancing. Could be the first series of Alien Big Brother
