What I'm doing now

Last updated 2024-10-26 from home in Belfast, Ireland.

• Family time above all.
• Working as a Fractional Director of Engineering for 3Advance.
• Exploring other areas to grow my software consulting business with "helping people I like get what they want" as my (too broad) north star.
• Aiming to get back to writing my ideas in public (on this site and in my Obsidian notes vault) after my previous explorations in the serverless cloud space.
• Two years into my hypertrophy training program.
• 1,392 consecutive days of closing my rings.
• Assistant coach for my daughter's Gaelic football team.
• Refinding my childhood skill of playing the piano.
• Living in hope that Man Utd will soon refind their glory days.
• Recent books I enjoyed:
  • Endurance—Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing (audio)
  • Same as Ever by Morgan Housel
  • The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer (audio)
  • Great Mental Models by Shane Parrish
  • Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
  • Slow Productivity by Cal Newport
  • Prompt Engineering for Generative AI by James Phoenix and Mike Taylor
