Hi, I’m Rory, a lifelong tech enthusiast and tinkerer with a habit of not writing things down or documenting it. This site is a step towards solving that.

 

This site is not a perfectly polished blog or a carefully curated portfolio. It’ a digital dumping ground, a place to stash the stuff I’ve found useful, the things I’m working on, the tech I’m playing with, and the thoughts that won’t leave me alone. Sometimes it’s a solution to a problem, other times it’s a project I got way too into on a quiet weekend.

 

Occasionally, it’s just me thinking out loud.

​

I was born in the ’90s with a curiosity that has never switched off, for both the natural world and the stuff we’ve built on top of it. I’ve always been drawn to understanding how things work, how to fix them, or how to build something better. I credit a lot of that hands-on thinking to my dad. As a builder, he seemed able to fix or make just about anything, and that had a big impact on me growing up.

​

But the digital world? That one I discovered on my own. And if I’m honest, it’s where I’ve spent most of my time ever since.

 

All this curiosity eventually bled into my career. These days, I work in the Design & Engineering space, helping companies make sense of the systems they rely on,  whether that’s CAD, PLM, Augmented Reality, or digital transformation tools that are more complex than they should be. I spend my time bridging gaps between departments, technology, and real-world outcomes. It’s a great job, but it’s not what this site is about.

 

This site is more personal. It’s where I document ideas, half-built tools, technical rabbit holes, side projects, and little insights that might save someone else a headache, or at least give them a laugh when they realise they’re not the only one fighting with dodgy software or weird edge cases.

 

You’ll find a bit of everything here: casual design, engineering concepts, tech experiments, automations, productivity hacks, lessons learned the hard way, and whatever else has caught my attention lately. Think of it as a running log of my digital life, professional and personal, structured and chaotic.

 

If something here helps you, great. If not, that’s fine too. This is as much for me as it is for anyone else.

 

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to poke around. No pressure. No spam. Just one more corner of the internet where ideas get dumped and occasionally make sense.
