Blog
I primarily blog about programming topics that are either close to my heart or related to projects which I'm currently working on. The subjects I cover include, but are not limited to, Go, .NET, C#, F#, DevOps, and software security. Although I don't post as often as I used to, when I do, I invest the time to write with a level of care and details which you won't find on Medium or dev.to 😁.
Thank you for reading my ramblings!
