Grafana Labs Solutions Engineer Aengus Rooney

What do you like to do in your free time? Reading and some exercise! Jogging, cycling, swimming…

What’s your favorite new gadget or tech toy? An IoT project using home weather stations…

Do you like to code in silence, with music or ambient noise on your headphones, or with people talking around you? With music for sure! I find electronic/progressive house and trance the best for concentration. However I’m a fan of many different genres of music!!

What do you do to get “in the zone” when you code? Turn off all comms channels and listen to music!

Favorite ice cream flavor? Matcha and sesame.

What’s the last thing you binge-watched? Mr. Robot.

Spaces or tabs? Spaces definitely!! I’ve wasted too much time porting code with tabs across platforms to work with tabs anymore…

What superhero powers do you wish you had (or do you have!)? Flying, super-power vision and hearing, mind reading, shooting laser beams… there’s so many useful things really…
