What I'm doing right now...

My blog talks a little about some of my interests and happenings, but doesn't describe what I'm actually doing day-to-day. I aim to update this page relatively frequently to tell you what I'm currently up to in and outside of work.

Last updated: 28th April 2026

• I've been ill for quite a few weeks, and I'm only just coming out of the other side of it now, which means any free time right now is mostly catching up on sleep or watching Netflix.
• Our son is now almost 2 years old - where does the time go? He's beginning to have conversations and my weekends are spent with as much of him as I can.
• Clearly using AI more and more on a day-to-day basis, both for life things and for work and project things. What did we do before all of this?
• Focusing on GenAI for developers at work means I have to stay up-to-date and try thing as much as possible, and keeps me very busy during the day and beyond.
• Still travelling a lot with work, I tend to be in Amsterdam every 3 weeks or so, and have already been to San Francisco twice this year. This is not the most fun aspect of my life right now, and I'm planning to actively cut this down a lot more during the second half of the year.
• Still hatching plans to build a home server that does a little more than file storage, but for that I need to build something - I haven't done that for a while!
• Not doing a very good job of posting at all on Mastodon, mostly lurking and reading these days.
• Having a clear garage means there may be a potential for a project car to appear in the near future...
• Somehow, I'm still reading the Staff Engineer's Path by Tanya Reilly, trying to find a little bit of time to finish it as I've already learnt a lot.
