I’m an experienced software engineer who loves building new and interesting things in software. I strongly believe in the benefits of life long learning and I hope that my posts on this site can help (at least in a small way) for others to see the advantages in continuous learning as well. The posts on this site are a reflection of my own thoughts and interests and do not reflect those of my employer or any other organisation I may be affiliated with.
