Always Learning, Always Building
I still write Java daily (yes, even if this site doesn’t show it). Along the way, I picked up:
- ⚡ Helidon - a personal favorite microservices framework.
- ☁️ Cloud computing - AWS, Google Cloud, Azure.
- 🗄️ Databases - MongoDB, ElasticSearch, and more.
You’ll find my projects - polished and messy alike on GitHub
Never a Life Without Failures
I once ran a small software company. From just a few of us, we grew to about 20 employees. Then the 2008–09 financial crisis hit, and we had to shut it down.
It was tough, but it taught me more than any success could. If I had the chance, I’d do it all again. Failures shape builders.
