Projects

I work on various side projects that interest me.

Active

Data Analytics

A personal study on data engineering, data analytics, and data visualization.

Fitness

I’m older than I was – thankfully! – and maintaining an athletic, healthy lifestyle doesn’t “just happen” by itself anymore.

Personal GIS

A migration of my extensive Google Maps favorite locations, saved lists, trip research, and more to my own open knowledge management system.

ConsultantCRM

I use Obsidian.md for my knowledge management system, and have built a light-weight CRM to help me grow and maintain my professional relationships and business opportunities.

100DaysOfSwiftUI

Paul Hudson’s excellent introduction to Swift and SwiftUI programming.

Recipe ideas for stale sourdough

I bake, rather a lot, of sourdough bread. I get all kinds of bits, ends, and parts of loaves no longer viable for sandwiches, but still a valuable ingredient for something else.

Completed

A voice-first Siri shortcut designed for Apple Watch, that logs water intake to the Health app: check it out

Weekend Trip Notes

A travel notes blog of things experienced, and things to experience next time.
