New winds

In my last post, I wrote about my plans for this year:

This time I’m trying to be more intentional, especially career-wise.

I concluded that it is time for me to move on from my position as a software engineer at Oura Health. I had a great two and a half years there, building and operating the backend-slash-database that is the main data store of the company, and I learned a lot about Python, Rust, AWS services, cloud databases, and scaling backend systems.

However, I want to focus even more closely on how data is stored in the cloud. Therefore I’m planning to venture out as an independent expert.

More on that later. Meanwhile, if you’ve got exciting opportunities for me, email me or connect on LinkedIn.
