Welcome to my blog - I write about tech topics that interest me, my experience and learnings and advice to others.
My preferred tools are Python, JavaScript and Bash, so language-specific posts are about those often. I also like making static sites and learning to use CMS tools.
Follow me on my DEV.to blog if you like that platform. I sometimes cross-post.
Here is my feed of posts on my own site:
