Welcome to Behind The Screen for November, week 1! In this vlog, I discuss getting through some large work commitments this past week. It's been extremely draining to stack up planning & people conversations - but not because of the people, specifically! As an introvert, people conversations and long amounts of meetings are very mentally draining. But layered on top of that, we've had some critical planning going on too. So at this point, I am finally over the hump and able to focus on things more intentionally.
I'm still making progress on my big exciting project for December, so this weekend will be much more of that. I'm eager to share more updates with you folks as that gets closer and closer! I'm not yet over the hump with this work yet... but soon!

The Behind The Screen weekly vlogs are my way of showing you what’s happening behind the scenes with my life. It’s your number one way to get exclusive information about what’s up and coming because I just keep talking about what’s top of mind! Yes, that means SPOILER ALERT!
I try to focus on some core areas each time:
- Dev Leader sneak peeks for things I have planned (courses, posts, etc…)
- Content creation and what’s up and coming
- Preview into work life for me at Microsoft
- Modified car stuff here and there
- Bodybuilding and gym stuff when there’s something interesting
- Annnnd whatever else is going on in my life that’s interesting
But as you can see, these are different things that represent my interests, my life, and my Dev Leader brand. I hope that this gives you a lens into who I am and that I’m not just the guy that makes blog posts and videos.
As always – Thank you so much for your support. I truly love making content that can help you become better at software engineering, and without you, I’d not have that opportunity. For me, this is an extremely rewarding opportunity to help make a difference on your journey.
Thanks, and enjoy!
