Things I’m working on and where my attention is at.

Attention is a precious resource and so I choose where to use it with caution and deliberate choice. Here's what I'm working on, what I will always be working on and what I've recently completed.

In Progress

  • Pragmatic Studio – Full-Stack Phoenix

    Phoenix is no stranger to me, but LiveView is something that I've not used in anger. This course will be a nice help in planning the technicals for my new personal website

    Phoenix, Elixir & OTP

  • Hello World

    A fun and lightweight side project where I demonstrate basic competance over a range of languages and frameworks. Do look at the source code closely, it's full of subtle jokes.

    Hello World

  • Hacker Rank 90 Day Challenge

    It is designed to prepare you for interviews, but I'm using it to skeleton my learning of different algorithms and languages. It's been a surprisingly good exercise to move it to my own development and testing setup.

  • Get a Job

    After a little break to explore trees and arboriculture, I've realised I miss being a software engineer. Hence, I'm seeking a Job as a software engineer again.

  • Personal Website

    The site you're looking at now is a stop-gap-template solution. I'm currently thinking deeply about the next iteration of my personal website. Its a great excuse to dust off my design chops and finally wrap my head around Figma.

Never Ending

  • Dendromeda

    An online tool for managing risk and stress in tree populations. Early days and the working version is in tatters on my machine.

  • The Woodland

    I own and manage an eight acre section of ancient semi-natural woodland. I'm returning it to being properly managed as oak standards with hazel coppice.

Completed

  • Pragmatic Studio – Elixir & OTP

    I originally went through this course back in 2018 when it was first released, but I went back through it to refresh my understanding of OTP and the mindset of building OTP applications. I always enjoy the pragmatic studio videos.

  • MITx - Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python

    I went into this course with 18 years of Python knowledge but I've never been formally trained in computer science. I learned a lot about frames, Big O and how important it is to be able to understand code by reading it.
