About

A short note about my background and interests.

Background

Most of what I know about software and programming comes from building things, breaking them, and fixing them.

My path into software development wasn't conventional. I started out of curiosity by learning through various online courses and staying connected to developer communities on Reddit and Twitter. Over time, that curiosity turned into professional work and a career I genuinely enjoy.

Today, I build software for businesses and clients and have worked with developers, designers, and clients from diverse backgrounds.

Outside of client and professional work, I enjoy experimenting with new ideas and sharing my personal and professional experiences through writing.

What I'm doing now

  • Working remotely as a web developer
  • Building and maintaining various client websites and web applications
  • Writing about software development, technology, and personal growth
  • Continuously learning and building interesting side projects

Outside of coding

Technology is a big part of what I do, but it isn't everything I'm interested in.

I enjoy listening to podcasts, watching films, and reading various interesting books I pick up from the roadside bookshop.

A few things I've been enjoying lately:

  • Podcasts: Darknet Diaries, What Now with Trevor Noah
  • Movies & shows: Perfect Days, Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, Mythic Quest, Mare of Easttown
  • Books:100 World's Greatest Short Stories

And, of course, I spend a ridiculous amount of time tweaking this website.
