Work

I am currently employed as a software engineer. I particularly have a focus in app deployment (Docker, Kubernetes, etc), service integration development, and application security.

Outside my work, I tend to do a lot of projects involving data analysis. From grabbing data from certain sources, parsing it, and being able to find insights from that data. Historical examples include creating dashboards for watching GitHub repo health for the VS Code repository (lannonbr/vscode-issue-tracker). A current project includes creating a tracker for watching prices of Pokemon TCG Cards over time (lannonbr/pkmn-tcg-app). Visit my Projects page to see other projects of mine.

If you are curious on the hardware / software I use, head over to my Uses Page.

Currently Tinkering With

Physical Journalling / Notebooks

As of June 2024

I've used tools like Obsidian & Notion for years now, but I wanted to expiriment and see how using physical notebooks would integrate into my workflow. So far has been good when I want to step away from technology and just be able to write down my thoughts to paper without distraction.

Generative AI

As of late 2022

Although as of 2024 there are still a lot of negatives with GenAI tools, I still think there is some value from them, so I've been slowly expirimenting using them. I've mainly been using chat-based interfaces like ChatGPT.
