Hello and welcome to my blog and personal portfolio. It used to be hosted on a dedicated Wordpress platform, but I gave that up for a number of reasons (explained here).

My primary interests are Python, REST APIs, the Atlassian stack, and the ever-devolving state of the internet. I also occasionally throw in a recipe, because banana bread is universal.

Below you'll find the categories of the pages, as I add them. I'm still figuring out a good way to organize and categorize everything.

The Jira and Confluence repositories contain a bunch of scripts that aren't captured within the Wiki (yet).
