Life Update

Life Update — featured image

So, I’ve been pretty busy lately. I haven’t written any technical content, but I have some things I am working on. My last blog post was in January about working with Go (golang). Since then, I married the love of my life in February. Then in May we welcomed our baby boy into the world. As you can imagine, we have been a little busy.

What am I working on?

Gatherer

I’m developing Gatherer (the precursor to Surveyor). I experimented with a Raspberry Pi form factor early on, but the workflow did not fit how technicians operate in the field. I’ve since pivoted to a standalone desktop app for MSPs.

  • Stack: Wails (Go + Vite + React).

  • Why: Go’s standard library handles TCP/UDP communications more effectively than Node.js.

    I’ll share a deep dive into the tech stack in a future post.

Time Tracker Once Gatherer enters testing, I plan to revisit my Time Tracker App. Built with Laravel, this app simplifies time entry for warehouse and fulfillment center staff.

Certifications After 14 years in networking, I intend to formalize my experience with Cisco certifications.

Thanks for reading, I hope to have some more technical content available soon!
