Happy birthday Ailsa!! ❤️


27% positivity rate in the county where I went to high school. Multiple family members have now tested positive. And still there are those who refuse to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation. I despair.


One of the highlights of this Friday the 13th was getting to close out a track at Build Stuff 2020, sharing advice and tips for building a tech career that makes you happy. While I was sad not to visit Vilnius in person – our trip last year was a big inspiration in the decision to move to Europe! – the organisers did a fantastic job at pivoting the event to virtual. I was even able to get a caricature done! 😂 Well done to Neringa Young and the whole #BuildStuffConf team… 👏



Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
