What I'm Doing Now
Working at Trifork, now on a longer-term engagement as a process architect.
What I'm Working With
Work:
- Working with a single customer (for the first time in my 7+ years as a consultant) in a process coaching & facilitation role (roughly, a Scrum Master). Learning a lot about how smaller organizations handle change, pressure, and politics 🕵🏻♂️
- Re-picking up our cross-office 'delivery guild' and preparing some new templates for when we initially size and frame a delivery.
- Acting as a 'team lead', representing a handful of co-workers in their well-being & development at work, and more general HR-ish matters.
Hobby projects (ranked by time spent):
- Working on my new (old) house 🏡
- Setting up a 'smart' home based on Ubiquiti's Unifi platform and Home Assistant.
- Getting back into Emacs and blogging.
What I'm Consuming
Reading
- Re-reading Caesar, Life of a Colossus, by Adrian Goldsworthy
- Followed very likely by a re-read of Augustus: First Emperor of Rome, also by Adrian Goldsworthy
Watching
- Re-watching the Avatar: the Last Airbender series, little by little when we have time in the evenings.
- Music videos on Spotify! Curated mega-playlists with hundreds of songs, for the 80s, 90s, and across all my favorites.
Listening
- Hounds of Love by Kate Bush, on repeat for months
- Blank Check Podcast, my ongoing weekly project of 5+ years
- Doughboys Podcast
