About me

Hi,

I have recently started a major career change - moving from generalist jobs to become a software developer. I hope to share some of the things I learn along the way through this blog.

A little background about me. I graduated with a physics degree and worked for 2 years as a support analyst - application support, training, SQL, and a taster of VBA and C#. I then signed up for a graduate scheme aimed at producing technically minded generalists. There I spent 4 years in a variety of jobs from project management, to commercial work, to requirements analysis. Mostly not very technical.

In September 2014 I started working as a software developer. There has been a huge learning curve so far and I still think I am only scratching the surface. At present the main technologies I've been using include:
- Scala and the Play framework
- NodeJS and Express
- Cucumber (both with Ruby and Cucumber-js)
- MongoDB
- AWS
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- Vault

Hope this blog ends up being some use to someone!

Tim
