/now
This page is inspired by Derek Sivers's post The /now page movement and the Now Movement. The purpose of this page is to share what I'm currently focussed on, and will be updated as things change.
This is both for longer-lived interests and shorter-lived "what I'm currently doing".

- I'm currently pushing towards my next promotion, to a Principal Software Engineer
- I'm actively blogging about technical and personal things
- I'm stepping into the IndieWeb movement, one #IndieWeb post at a time
- I'm largely focussing on my Open Source projects dependency-management-data and oapi-codegen, but also a number of others I maintain
- I'm co-organising the OpenUK Digital meetup
