Peter Quill : You look like Mary Poppins.
Yondu : Is he cool?
Peter Quill : Hell yeah, he’s cool.
Yondu : I’m Mary Poppins, y’all!
A passionate geek, as well as a loving father and husband, I started this blog to share my experience in engineering, product management, and business.
With years of hands-on coding, leading teams, and building products from the ground up, I’ve learned both the technical and strategic sides of software development. Here, I share insights, lessons learned, and practical advice for developers, tech leaders, and founders navigating the ever-changing world of technology. I hope you find it insightful and valuable!
