Currently reading, learning and consuming all things

Hey there, I'm Shannon!

I'm a tech enthusiast based in Australia, where I enjoy life with my wife, two amazing kids, and our duo of sausage dogs.

With over a decade of experience in the digital realm, I've worn many hats in various roles, crafting diverse software and products. Initially stepping into the scene as a digital designer, my journey led me to discover a fervor for development.

My career evolution as a developer has been a fascinating ride. Starting as a junior frontend developer, I cut my teeth by building websites and products while learning extensively from my peers. Countless hours of self-learning and improvement eventually propelled me into the role of a technical lead within a product team.

What sets my journey apart is that I didn't follow the conventional path into software development. Without a formal education in the field, I've embraced self-education, immersing myself in tutorials and devouring every piece of knowledge on topics that fueled my passion, steering me to where I am today.
