Growing by Learning and Learning by Doing

Notes

This blog is a place to help me think by writing. I can also use it to record what I’ve done, am doing, or plan to do. Maybe I will post some fun stuff sometimes, or I won’t. As a general idea, don’t expect consistency or anything in particular. The topics can be professional or not. Only one thing is for sure: all opinions are my own and not the views of my employers.
