I'm Roy Hagland, a software developer and IT specialist based in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, working with clients in Spain and the UK. I write the software and I also run the servers, DNS and security it sits on, so there is one person to talk to and nobody to pass a problem on to.
I work as a permanent contractor for My Fire Safety, a UK fire safety company, as its IT Director. I rebuilt its public website, which is now live, and I am rolling out the staff portal I built for it. Behind that are more than 25 years in IT. Before moving into software full time I was a Partner Technical Advisor at Microsoft for networking in EMEA, directing a team of more than 80 across three international sites, and before that a technical leader for networking at Concentrix, working Microsoft's most complex customer escalations across Active Directory, DNS and hybrid identity with Entra ID.
I also contribute to open source. More than 40 of my pull requests have been merged into two projects: Technitium DNS Server, including LDAP and Active Directory sign in, and Ultimate CA Manager, a self hosted certificate authority maintained by NeySlim, where I added Windows autoenrollment and Microsoft Intune SCEP support among other fixes and features.
I work in English. My Spanish is working rather than fluent, so for anything detailed I use translation tools.
