Thoughts on software engineering and other things.
During my recent camping trip to Wales, I noticed that my car boot was making an abnormally loud clunk when opened by the power liftgate. I called my Mazda dealer and was quoted 190 pounds for investigating the issue, without a guarantee of a fix.
Before switching to a platform engineering role within the AI Engineering Group earlier this year, I spent 9 months working on RAG with financial research documents.
After a year of turmoil and struggles in the startup world, I started a new role at a big company in early 2024, which meant I once again had the mental space to pursue personal interests this year.
In this post, I’d like to reflect on the reasons why I think there’s a place for small software tailored for small data and my motivation for building a data visualisation tool called Visprex.
