Now (September 2025)

Overview

I recently bought my first house.

I got a dog about 6 months ago, a Australian Shepard who kept fighting with her sister. We are currently working on getting her to not murder every animal she sees.

Career

I feel like I am in a stable spot in my career right now, and there is little upwards mobility at the moment. This is a rough visualization of where I am.

                                                   Me

        ||=======1 year=======||=====3 years====||======10 years=====||
Developer (trainee)        Developer          Manager            Architect

I can't do much other than wait for my current architect to retire, and that is quite comfortable.

Health

I consider myself quite healthy, even though I don't necessarily exercise regularly. I do however do quite a bit of yard work, which is enough to keep me in shape.
