Another software engineer with a blog!{" "}

I am a self-taught engineer from London. This blog is a technical scrapbook. I document the details of my technical life so I can have a record of progress when I look back. Doing this publicly motivates me to take care with my writing and to be as clear as possible.{" "}

Currently I work for{" "} ITV {" "} {""} as a backend software engineer. Before that, I worked as a full-stack engineer at the{" "} BBC {" "} and as a frontend engineer at{" "} Arria NLG {" "} and in several web developer roles.{" "}

Code

I self-host my own Git forge at{" "} forgejo.systemsobscure.net {" "} rather than use Microsoft GitHub. You can view my personal projects there.
