I’m ready to get started with some side-gigs
As the title suggests, I’m in progress of putting together some side-gigs. I figured it was about time to put all my knowledge and experience to work. I have a gazillion ideas, thousands of notes, quite a few projects in progress and the drive and energy to make them happen. One of them is GentOS…

End of a journey, beginning of a new one – take 3
And it happened again 🙂 only this time it was triggered by my previous employer who decided they no longer needed my services. After 5 months of soul searching and job hunting (what can I say … tough market) I found myself working in a new field – Video Conferencing – obviously doing what I…

Today, this evening, I was…

End of a journey, beginning of a new one – take 2
Looks like it happened again 🙂 only this time it was more like an invite than me deciding to move on from my current employer. Several weeks back (almost 2 months back), a friend of mine (who happened to be my old manager at Paragon about 6 – 7 years ago) pinged me to meet…

Master of Science
It finally happened, I am now a Master of Science … Data Science and Advanced Computing to be more precise 🙂 Two years ago I decided I should explore other branches of IT (not to transition to something else but rather to add more skills to my portfolio) and started looking at a Master’s degree…

What can you do with 30£ and some staples ?
It’s a weird question I know and there’s quite a few possible answers to it such as: “buy some beer and throw the staples” or “nothing” or what I did this weekend with the mrs which would be to reupholster the kitchen chairs 🙂 Fun little project that’s been waiting for us to finish others…
