	What am I up to now?
</p>

<h3>Work</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Still a manager and software engineer at Automatic Data Processing, Inc.</li>
	<li>Trying to improve on change control by encouraging continuous integration. Advertising it as a way to reduce defects, delivery more frequently, and avoid change restriction. Using Jenkins, Kubernetes, and Bitbucket to do those things.</li>
	<li>Reeling in chaos from unplanned work and scope change. Using sprint demos, Jira, and aggressive estimate planning to do that.
	<li>Open to private contractor software development and website building projects.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Hobbies</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Eagerly awaiting a free day to rebuild Ol' Blue's fuel pump. Upgrading to a secondary vacuum unit to (hopefully) power future wiper washer.</li>
	<li>(Continual) posting practical programming tutorials to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@carpentertutoring841">Carpenter Tutoring YouTube channel</a>.</li>
	<li>Translating a Computational Problem Solving course (CS 101) from Python to Rust. Intend on releasing first chapters on YouTube in coming weeks.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Life</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Enjoyed recent trip to NYC for wedding and tourism.</li>
	<li>Getting over illness scares in wife and puppy. Be thankful for your health, it's underrated!</li>
	<li>Gearing up for two more wedding trips in coming months.</li>
	<li>Settling into spring and summer. Warm weather welcome, pollen be gone!</li>
</ul>
