<h2>Work</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Still in Toronto, still working in software at Amazon.
|
|
Having been here for more than 2 years now the impostor syndrome is now a background hum instead of all consuming.
|
|
My team writes tools to help automate and test new machine setups.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>Life</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I am engaged and living with the most wonderful woman I have ever met.
|
|
Planning our wedding (slowly bit by bit) for next spring.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Actually planning for the long term financially now that I am lucky enough to have a job that leaves me with money to save and invest after the bills are payed.
|
|
It still feels new to have that cushion and to plan long term, definitely enjoying it.
|

<h2>Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Got my blue belt just before the new year.
|
|
Still training as much as I can.
|
|
The team here at GB Toronto has become an external family.
|
|
I am so grateful for the community.
|
|
First competition of the year for me is July 13th.
|
|
Have a touch over a Kg to cut to make weight.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>Learning</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I am working to learn Japanese and Portuguese on Duolingo.
|
|
I love the program and it is 100% worth paying for, but the fact that even when paying it keeps asking for ratings, putting widgets on my home screen, or turning on notifications bothers me.
|
|
You already have my money now please don't bother me.
|
|
Finding the lessons really helpful.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I started studying for the CompTIA ITF+ certification test but that has fallen off in the last little bit.
|
|
I have been learning hardware and networking playing with my home network and a small homelab consisting of my NAS and a few raspberry pis.
|
|
Just not very stoked on going for certifications and much prefer to learn this stuff by just playing around with it than reading textbooks and doing practice questions.
|
|

|
<h2>Tinkering</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Have just finished setting up some self hosted software.
|
|
Firefly for budgeting and personal finance.
|
|
Pihole for local network addblocking and as a DNS server.
|
|
Syncthing to keep all my devices synchronized.
|
|
Slowly working to have more and more of my digital life hosted myself, and it feels good to have control over these things even though it is more work.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This website is the main thing that I have been working with.
|
|
I rebuilt it using HTMX and a Rust backend.
|
|
No more Javascript.
|
|
Next step is to add some curated pages, links that I have found interesting, tools that I use.
|
|
I have found a lot of utility in those pages on other personal websites and have started working on doing the same with this one.
