## Building

- **Starting at Warren**: On 19 October I join Warren as a software engineer. They're building the financially fearless generation: a pension fund in low-cost ETFs, decoded payslips and coaching that makes money less scary. A product I'd use myself, so I can't wait to help build it.
- **Wrapping up at Codifly**: Handing over projects, finishing what's still open and dotting the i's. Nobody should have to reverse-engineer my commit messages after I leave.
- **This site**: Built and live. Now I just have to write those blog posts I keep promising.

## Learning

- **Finance, investing and accounting**: How ETFs, pensions and a balance sheet actually work. Hard to build financial clarity for others while squinting at my own payslip.
- **AI as a working tool**: Claude Code, Codex and Cursor side by side, different models and workflows that hold up. Plus the fundamentals underneath: context, tool calling and evaluations.
- **Seeing what production does**: OpenTelemetry, traces and metrics: knowing why something is slow before a user tells me. Logs alone are just a diary.
