My portfolio and consultancy website has a fresh new look! 🎨

My software engineering contract/consultancy services are now highlighted, along with showcasing the products I'm building.

Take a look, and tell me what you think!

My to-do list for today. What’s on yours?

I was spending too much time trying to implement an unclear vision.

Pivoting to some pre-built design components.

Messing around with a website redesign. On a scale of gross to meh, how obvious is it that I'm not a designer? 😅

Excitement of the day: watching yet another salvage crew try to take an abandoned boat out of Milwaukee's lakeshore.

Not sure what they intend to do about this rock line...

Photos from a hackathon I judged this past Saturday!

With an AI focus, teams created themed chat bots, a resume writer, a pet finder, a real-time mood analyzer, and teachable object detection.

If you have an opportunity to attend a hackathon, do it!

And build something using AI 🤖

Not sponsored, just genuinely valuable!

I attended a keynote recently by co-author John Zeratsky. He introduced the concepts in the book, and we did a hands-on workshop applying some of the concepts to our own projects.

More about it on MKE Tech Hub's page:
