Hey y'all,

Maybe it is the poor Internet connection in Ireland, but I feel disconnected. Watching a site load brings me back to when you had to find offline tasks while waiting. Breaking up a hyperconnected world has paradoxically improved my ability to concentrate.

Current Projects

  • Finishing an annual cybersecurity competition for Maryland
  • Planning a course on service design patterns

The upcoming course will provide a tangible guide to the 12 Factor App, with Go examples demonstrating transferable concepts across programming languages.

Productivity Tips

I endorse the Pomodoro technique as an effective productivity method, particularly when combined with yoga breaks. The results have been transformative.
