It was roughly 5 years ago when I wrote my first line of code. I had attended a job interview for an internship when I was asked about writing macros to reflect upon my experience with Microsoft Excel. At that point, I had no experience to reflect upon. That evening I wrote my first macro to change the colour of a cell to red with a keyboard shortcut.
This experience taught me that the advent of high-level programming languages could provide a more intuitive experience writing code than I could have thought.

Fast-forward to the present day and I am starting a blog to document the areas of technology that I explore, find interesting, and am challenged by on a daily basis.
My experience with writing a dissertation, where I had to introduce the technologies involved (Big Data and Blockchain) allowed me to appreciate the process and value of understanding a technical concept to its core. My blog will support me as I use the Feynman technique to learn and write bite-sized posts on how and why the technologies I use work.

My expectations for this blog are that it will surround all areas of Java, Spring, and algorithms.
Despite this, the deluge of questions that arrive each day from my search for answers will no doubt broaden the context.
Nevertheless, I am creating this website for my enjoyment and with the hope that you, the reader, may also benefit from one of the many challenges I overcome as an engineer.

Enjoy!
