I had the pleasure of attending DDD Melbourne this past weekend, seeing talks from many people in Melbourne’s tech space, and others coming in from abroad. Across 5 tracks of talks, there was a wide array of presentations on a variety of technical, personal and professional topics.

Ah 2017, what a year. As the year closes with the festive season, there is no better time to think back to all the things that have happened for me.
Lessons learned from my first project

Personal websites! Everyone wants to have one, but nobody wants to go through the bother of maintaining, updating them, and fixing them. I thought I’d go through my personal setup, and show how I build and deploy my own site.
