Inspired by Derek Sivers, here’s what I’m doing now.

Last updated: July 2026

Work

• Joined DNV at the beginning of the year – responsible for leading the mainframe and AWS service areas from a consulting standpoint

Personal

• Trying to get a more concrete schedule decided in terms of writing for the blog (aiming for a post every 2ish weeks)
  • So far this hasn’t really gone to plan, but I’m starting now in June in July, since work is starting to calm down a bit. Summer holidays soon, so maybe I’ll actually make good on this…
• House hunting. Let’s see how it goes.

Projects

• (Mostly) set up a mainframe at home. Pretty much my hobby for the foreseeable future and something for me to tinker with. Doing more sysprog oriented things have been a great help in learning more.
• Tinkering with Local LLMs

Currently
