Books

From operating web infrastructure to redesigning the working week with AI.

Two Packt books, fifteen years apart. The first is a hands-on guide to Nginx infrastructure. The second turns connected AI tools into repeatable workflows for everyday professional work.

Both sit on the same premise even though the subject changed completely: a genuinely useful technical book is a set of repeatable operating steps, not a survey of what is theoretically possible. The 2011 book turned server administration into recipes an operator could run under production pressure; the 2026 book does the same for AI-assisted work, on the assumption that most professionals need a workflow they can repeat on a Tuesday, not a demo.
