This page is inspired by Jamie Tanna's now page, which was, in turn, inspired by others.
What am I up to now?
- Automation, I'm trying to automate every little bit of my workflow, even if it takes longer to automate than actually do the task. Besides being fun, it has become a way to constantly put myself in the mindset of automating everything. Plus, ChatGPT makes most tasks that I wouldn't bother automating trivial.
- Working on my blog, trying to make it a regular part of my routine (I even made a Drafts action, and looking at examples of other people's blogs that I like.
- I was recently laid off at Nortal, where I worked as a Senior Engineer focused on SRE and DevOps. Creating Gitlab pipelines that deploy to Kubernetes, containerizing, and using Helm.
- Taking care of the birds that live on my property.
What are my interests?

My primary programming languages are Python and Java, and while I'm still better at Java than Python, I love Python much more than Java, and I'm working hard to switch over to Python.
