/now

This page is inspired by Derek Sivers's post The /now page movement and the Now Movement. The purpose of this page is to share what I'm currently focussed on, and will be updated as things change.

This is both for longer-lived interests and shorter-lived "what I'm currently doing".

What am I up to right now?

  • Living with my partner Anna Dodson and our beautiful terror of a cat Morph and our puppy Cookie
  • I'm currently at Elastic as a Senior Software Engineer, working on the Platform Developer Experience team
  • I'm actively blogging about technical and personal things
  • I'm stepping into the IndieWeb movement, one #IndieWeb post at a time
  • I'm organising Homebrew Website Club Nottingham
  • I'm looking to play more board games and socialise more

What are my interests?

  • Blogging
  • Decentralisation
  • GNU/Linux
  • Free Software Movement
  • Self-hosting services
  • Software Testing

What are my Operating System preferences?

  • On Mobile, I'm an Android user
  • On Laptop/Desktop, I'm an Arch Linux user

My primary programming languages at this time are Go, Ruby and TypeScript.
