# Welcome — This Is What the Blog Is For

Although I’ve been connected to information technology in one way or another for virtually my entire adult life, I didn’t become a true software developer until relatively late—well into my thirties. Before that, I went through some different careers, one of the last being journalism.

As a result, I’ve written quite a lot over the years—both technical articles and pieces on a wide range of other topics.

In this section of the website, you’ll find both copies of my articles that were originally published on third-party platforms and original content written specifically for this site.

If you find something interesting, thought-provoking, or even strongly disagree with it, feel free to leave a comment. I’d be happy to discuss it with you.
