Excuses incoming: A lot has been going on, and I have neglected this blog. Surprisingly, I have also neglected myself. But as part of fixing what is wrong with me, I am also fixing this blog. I have updated the about section, which was over 5 years old. I had 2 posts after 2016, but one was an unpublished draft and the other is just a rant at the concept of using velocity to determine a team-members worth.
Since that writing, I have had the following changes in my life:
- Left UCF, I didn’t see opportunity for growth
- Got a new job at Fanhero
- Cut my teeth being a “Full-Stack Developer” instead of just a polyglot developer, I still think that is a lousy, gatekeeping phrase.
- Learned Elixir, and it taught me many things
- Left Fanhero, I didn’t see the company finding success
- Got a new job with Luminar Technologies
- Became a full-time C++ developer
- Became Tech lead
- Becoming Product Owner in a SAFe framework
- Learning AutoSAR and ASPICE

Theres a lot going on! I’m not going to clean-slate though, I have stubbed out a number of post drafts covering some of my technical lessons learned over the past few years.
I may also post on some of my stress management strategies, assertiveness, and how I am coping with all of these changes. Don’t forget the whole pandemic either, I am working from home and I have kids that are also staying home.
So between occasional posts on what I am actively working through, and the stubbed posts, I think a post a week is pretty achievable.
