Phew. What a year. Finally delivered my personal project and couldn’t be more proud. 🥰 Excited to be back in the mix of things here! What’s the latest scoop?

Well friends, I wanted to share with you a side project I’ve been working hard on developing. It’s been going really well and I’m really excited to see the end product 🥹

That marks off this year’s conference. 🤓 What a rush! Thank you @appforce1 for putting on Do iOS conference. It’s been amazing.

In macOS there are a lot of discrepancies from iOS in SwiftUI. And the main way to learn it is by trying to make something work for a while and then realizing I should check the docs to see if it’s even in the version I’m developing for.

What better way to spend a weekend away from the screens than eating cold soak noodles and play in waterfalls.

Unfortunately SwiftCraft tickets didn’t sell enough for me to come out this week so instead I used some of the time to camp. It’s been heavenly ☺️🌲⛺️

Apparently this is what I look like while working on my conference talk.

The first bug in a computer program. A moth in 1947 found by Admiral Grace Hopper’s associates.

I have an interview Tuesday morning to “show off” something of mine or to talk them through an open source project. We’ll see what I come up with with this self assigned list.
