Hello! This is the website of me, Sol.
I'm a software engineer based in the UK, primarily working as a Data Engineer but - as is usually the case with DEng - with that comes a lot of experience architecting and building entire backend systems, deployment infrastructure, developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and so on. Take a look at experience for a more complete overview.
I am a big advocate for not screwing up the planet on which we live, hence my current position in the renewable energy sector (and hence my exremely minimalist website!). I'm fascinated by physics; the very large, and the very small.
I also enjoy coding in my spare time (imagine!) - I maintain a personal kubernetes server at home, on which I run a suite of open source services. I also write occasional blog posts about programming, which you can find in the blog section of this site. (During lockdown I even wrote an android app so that my friends and I could play games remotely!)

I'm going to put this section together soon, but for now, see my linkedin for my CV.
devsjc blogs //
I occasionally write about thoughts or experiences with programming. Below is a list of these posts. They come in two flavours, those being regular posts, and chasers, which are shorter posts primarily used as a reminder to myself about something I want to remember.
Posts are markdown docs, converted to HTML via marked.js; as such, I'm afraid you'll need JavaScript enabled to read them.

At some point I'll put some links to my musical endeavours here! (Or maybe I'll chicken out of it!)
