Hello. My name is Henry Essinghigh. I am from the United Kingdom. I am currently employed as a member of the Network Engineering team at CBRE UK.

Currently, I'm working on Cloud Security and Global Network Syslog & Data Visualization (more specifically with Elasticsearch & Grafana).

I enjoy spending time working on my own projects. I run a homelab with services that I use as day-to-day replacements for services offered by large companies. I've spent a bit too much money on hard drives and networking equipment, but I find some enjoyment in knowing I'm in control of my data.

I am autistic. This does not affect my day-to-day life, although my ability to socialize is effectively zero. This means I might come off as awkward or blunt, but I assure you it's not intentional. I just struggle with social cues and communication, please do reach out to me as I do actually enjoy talking to people, even if it doesn't seem that way!

I used to play a lot of first person shooters, but these days I find myself more interested in osu! and other rhythm games.

Some fun facts:

  • At my peak I was ranked #265 in the UK in Beat Saber.
  • At time of writing I am currently ranked #2501 in the UK in osu! standard.
  • I ingest an unhealthy amount of caffeine.
  • I can type at around 155WPM, my current 15 second peak is 176WPM.
  • I use a Google Pixel 7 Pro running LineageOS.

I also like cats
