ENGINEER | DEVELOPER | CREATOR
Hello,
I’m an improvement obsessed code monkey, general tinkerer, and lover of all things technology.
About
I love building anything and everything. I have a degree in Mechatronic Engineering, have been coding for several years and I thrive off all forms of problem-solving. As well as being a technophile, I’m extremely passionate about Entrepreneurship and am heavily involved with start-ups. I love pushing boundaries with teams of remarkable, intelligent individuals who are motivated towards a common goal. I live for the long nights, the adventures, the highs and the lows. I’m addicted to the chaos and the stresses!
I’ve never bonded with the notion of a profession defining one’s identity, nor did I buy into the facade of success being defined by the number of decades you spend climbing the corporate ladder, slaving for a single company whilst dreaming of your retirement. I seek to inspire others to chase their dreams and take the risks necessary to be able to spend their life doing meaningful work that they love and can be proud of. The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
This website is simply my little corner of the internet. I hope that it may be able to inspire and teach whilst concurrently helping to keep me accountable and motivated towards my own goals.
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
“When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.
That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, and that is - everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use…
Shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you’re just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it… Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”
— Steve Jobs
Learn to Code
Being able to code is a fantastic skill that that can be incredibly rewarding, especially if you love problem solving!
Being a software developer gives you the freedom to build amazing things from anywhere in the world with just a laptop. I hear countless stories from people with a keen interest but no idea how to get started. Well, I’m going to try and help you by writing a series of guides across several different areas of software development.
Musings
ˈmjuːzɪŋ (Noun) - a period of reflection or thought.
Here are some of mine.
My Reading List
Books are the single most overlooked source of easily obtainable knowledge. Wrapped up in their pages are the thoughts of countless men and women who are significantly smarter than I. It’s truely incredible! Many spend astronomical amounts on higher education without giving thought to all the wisdom collecting dust in their local library.
In 2020, I have a goal to read at least 52 books (yes, one per week for those who are on the ball). In order to keep myself accountable and on track I have decided to write brief recaps of each of the books I read. Who knows, hopefully some of my thoughts might even spark your interest and you’ll find your next book to read too.
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. They’re not found of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
