About this website

My goal is to have this website act as some sort of living resume. In my spare time I work on a lot of projects, writing about them is a way of documenting them.

Through documentation I’ll be able to more easily go back to old projects, and share what I’m doing with others. Instead of saying I’m doing “stuff” and working on “thinks” I can point people to this website.

Over time I have also incorporated more comprehensive guides for certain topics into this website. These are all about collecting information from various sources into a single easy to use guide.
