I’ve been using this time away from full-time work to slow down and learn with intention.
Right now, I’m deepening my understanding of platform engineering while preparing for the CKAD certification.
The more I learn, the more I appreciate the principles behind reliable systems over the tools themselves.
This season of life has been about healing.
I’m learning to build a healthier relationship with my body through movement, breath, rest, and consistency. It’s a slower journey than I expected, but it’s changing how I think about strength — not as something you force, but something you patiently rebuild.
More than anything, I’m learning that practice isn’t about doing more. It’s about showing up, paying attention, and returning — even on the days that feel small.
Current reads:
These books are leaving me with better questions than answers.
Writing has been quieter lately.
Mostly, I’m collecting ideas rather than finishing the pieces — occasional poems, ideas for technical blogs, reflections, and small observations that might become something later.
Outside of learning and practice, I’m trying to make more room for the people and moments that matter most.
Time with family and close friends. Meals around the table. Long conversations. More time offline, and a little less urgency.
