A snapshot of what I’m focused on at the moment. Updated every month or so.
Most of my spare attention right now is going on the AWS Solutions Architect Professional recert. It is the cert I find hardest to keep current because the scope is so wide, and getting through it is the thing clearing the runway for everything else I want to do.
Alongside that I keep coming back to AI tooling, mostly looking at where it actually helps the people I work with and where it helps me, rather than where it demos well. That research is the part I am most keen to get deeper into once the exam is behind me. Juggling the day job and studying has been eating the time I would otherwise spend digging into it properly, so the plan after the recert is to give it the attention it has been missing.
On the training side, the better weather has made a real difference. Getting to the gym is a lot easier when it is not dark and miserable outside, and the motivation follows. I have been focusing more on wrestling lately, and getting to spar in kickboxing, which is the fun part.
That’s the current picture. If you want the longer version, the about page has the background.
