Hi, I'm Matt 👋
Software engineer based in the UK, 8+ years in, currently pulling apart Python monoliths and building event-driven architectures.
You'll find a combination of pure rambles, whatever is on my mind at the time, and some hopefully more consolidated and useful writing.
🎯 Trying to break out of the 9 to 5 and get to financial independence, one side quest at a time.
