Life Update

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?

Right now, I am working on Gatherer (name subject to change). Gatherer is the next iteration of what I once referred to as Network Mapper. The original intention was a discovery tool that can run on a Raspberry Pi device. I have since decided to make it a stand-alone app geared specifically to MSPs. I also changed it from a full on node app to a wails app (go + vite + react). I felt Go had a better std lib for interacting with TCP/UDP communications. I will have a more in-depth blog post about the technology stack.

When I have Gatherer ready for more testing, I intend to revisit my Time Tracker App. This is an App that uses Laravel. Its goal is to allow a time entry system for people working in warehouses or fulfillment centers.

Lastly, I intend to get some Cisco certifications. I have been working with networking and Cisco for 14 years. I should probably have a certification or two.

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