I’ve been consulting full time for nearly 2 years and I’ve neglecting putting up my site that entire time🙈 until now! Better late than never, and now I have a place to showcase some of the cool things that I’m able to help my client’s build 👩‍💻

#[0]​ Hey! Wanted to let you know - the unfollow button seems to stay white in light mode, making it appear to be missing (it still works if you click that area though). I think I’m on the latest version in TestFlight.

Sometimes my job feels an awful lot like detangling thread. Keep pulling until you reach some friction, isolate the individual components, figure out which pieces are causing the issues, correct. Repeat. Deploying new services (vs features) is often like this. I can’t say how many times a day my colleagues and I say, “Yes!! A new error”. Experience just makes it easier to identify the issues and isolate the pieces faster. And to not get discouraged or stressed by errors. Expect them - you’ll be a much better tester and will find bugs earlier (and hopefully before prod).

Such a mood. https://spotify.link/CKI7yBMk5xb

Spent my day working on some data engineering pipelines that make use of rabbitMQ. It really is such a versatile queuing system when you need more than the simple queues/streams redis can offer and aren’t pushing super high volumes that require something like Kafka. One of the most configurable message brokers out there 👌

Opinion: one of the most important skills to have in this generation is data literacy. Data can be used to make nearly any point unless people know how to properly question metrics, usage, and source. As a follow on to that - an understanding of probability and the detriment of results oriented thinking.
