Welcome to Behind The Screen for January, week 3! In this vlog, I discuss my career journey and where things are at the beginning of 2024. It's a reminder that we're all in the driver's seat of our career journey, so sitting back and waiting for the things you want isn't a great strategy.
I've got a lot on the go right now including some progress with mealcoach.io and trying to get more onboarded. I'm also about 5-6 weeks into my bodybuilding prep with about 10 weeks left to go before I'm on stage. Not to mention, I'm going to be delivering multiple Dometrain courses during this time before I get onto the stage.
My career journey doesn't start and stop with my 9-5 :)

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!
