Basement Programmer is back... Kind of
I am a Master Principal Cloud Architect for Oracle Cloud (OCI). I create content designed to help developers with Cloud-Based technologies. This includes AWS, OCI, and occasionally Azure. I'm not excluding GCP, I just haven't had any excuse to dive into GCP yet. As far as development is concerned, my area of focus is predominantly .NET, though these days, I do branch out occasionally into NodeJS and Python. I am available for in-person speaking events as well as virtual sessions. I can usually be found at Boston Code Camp. Opinions expressed on my blog are my own, and should not be considered to be the opinions of my employer.
If you have been following my articles for a while, you will notice that the Basement Programmer blog has been shockingly quiet lately...
Many tech Blogs out there start with a bang, and then fizzle out, so you would be excused for assuming that I had grown bord of blogging and simply stopped This is not the case. Basement Programmer is alive and well.... sort of...
Let me explain...
I started Basement Programmer when I was working as a Developer Advocate for Amazon Web Services, and the content mostly focused on AWS Technologies, because... well that was my day job. I worked out of my basement, did all of my tech development out of my basement, my work gear was all in my basement... so I was Basement Programmer. And surprisingly enough basementprogrammer.com was available!
At the start of this year my family made the decision to migrate back to Australia. This was obviously a very busy time and I had no spare time to blog about anything, no time to create videos, not time for pretty much anything. Anyone who has ever tried to pack a family up, sell a house, relocate and find a new job all while holding down a full time job will understand.
In any event, it's nearly August, and I'm back... in more ways than one. Yes the Basement Programmer blog is bac AND.... I am back at AWS, this time working as a Sr. Delivery Consultant in Perth, Western Australia. I had previousely spent 16 years here in Perth where my wife is from and where my kids were born.
So... expect content to pick back up... In fact, I am working on a new blog post right away!
So why the "kind of" as far as being back... well... anyone who has visited Australia, especially Perth, knows... there are no basements.
I am getting ready to move into a new house in the coming months, and that house does have a nice room for a home office... but "Front of the house Programmer" doesn't really have the same ring to it... so everything is staying "Basement Programmer" :-)
Blogging to recommence soon.
The YouTube content will have to remain on hold as much of my equipment is still on a ship from the US and won't arrive for a few more months yet!
