Father and husband; Android Engineer and Quality Advocate; For fun, I enjoy playing video games, guitar, and table top games. I also dabble in hobby game dev and pixel arts.
A decent amount of disparate things in that list. I agree it is so hard to find time to work on programming outside of work. So I tend to build that time into my work by talking with my manager/team/etc. For my current position, I am focused specifically on Android test automation with Espresso in Kotlin, which plays very well to what I want to learn this year. So as such, at least every other day (except weekends) I spend an hour that morning working my way through Head First Android Development 2nd Ed.
I write bit-sized stories about the internet.
