Selftaught Developer

Thanks for visiting my website.

It's been a while since I made the career change from investment banking to software engineering. The idea of starting a blog has been on my mind for a long long time, but I always hesitated. As English is my second language and writing was never a passion since I was a kid, I found it difficult to start and stay motivated.

That all changed with generative AI. It has become an awesome tool that helps me to fill the gap. I can now focus on my original ideas, feed them into an AI for a first draft, and then iterate. This turns writing into an editing and refining process, which is far more enjoyable for an analytical mind like my own.

I will try and document my thoughts and experiences around the following area.

Career : I'll share the journey behind my career change from investment banking to tech, documenting my learning, progress, and the lessons I pick up along the way.

Wealth & Investing : I'm in my 40s not rich, just a bit better than the median, and still paying off a mortgage. This is my log of building assets, including my investment strategies, successes, and, most importantly, my mistakes.

Passive Income: I always come up with side projects ideas. I'll document my process of turning these ideas into trash / passive income.

Technology : The tech that excites me, from web standards and AI to the latest gadgets.

Tools : I will share the productivity and development tools that I rely on every day.

Personal : Discussing topics like managing stress, maintaining good mental health, and sharing other interests that make me who I am.

Whether you landed here by fate or because my SEO is finally working, I'm glad you stopped by. I truly hope the information on this site helps you in some way.
