Welcome

Like I said, welcome!

I'm going to treat my little slice of the internet as if no one knows, cares, or bothers to do a Google search to see what I'm up to. That means the thoughts and rantings on here will be really honest. What I won't be discussing are topics around world politics, the 24-hour news cycle, how dogs should wear pants and so on.

I will be giving my honest thoughts and opinions on technology, how I see people use it, the future of technology, and the current working environment for people in tech. I'm not looking for attention; I am looking for something to do on the weekends, hence this site.

With that out of the way, I'll formally introduce what this site is meant to be and why it even exists. Like most people, I follow trends. That meant a professional portfolio site so people (I really mean future employers) can nerd out on data. The problem was, "How do I make a professional portfolio around data?" Well, I still don't have an answer for that question, but what I do have are projects that I've worked on in my career that use data engineering techniques, that are data adjacent, or that I simply found interesting.

The way I solve problems, create projects, and work most likely won't be how you work or problem-solve; that's OK! The idea is to maybe give a different perspective on how someone else navigates technology that could help you at some point. I know people can be dead set in their ways: everything is black and white, they're a hammer, and all they see are nails. Cool. You do you.

All I ask is that you have fun, be open-minded, and take everything with a grain of salt. Who knows, you might learn something.
