I'm a software engineer by day and a writer by night.
I've spent the last 10 years building software and writing about it. JavaScript and React are my weapons of choice, but I've dabbled in many other languages and technologies. From the front-end to the back-end, from early stage Sillicon Valey startups to big media corps like the Financial Times, I've built a little bit of everything
I'm sharing everything I know about software through my articles, books and newsletter.
When I'm not coding, I'm either lifting, playing Magic: The Gathering, or writing fiction.
