    Emcee selfie! Honoured to join the @amazonwebservices team at today’s Inspiring Women event with 200 young women in Liverpool.


    There was a knife attack in the Sydney CBD today, just blocks from my office. One woman is dead and another is in the hospital. The attacker was subdued by members of the public armed with a chair and a milk crate.

    @starbuxman @ghohpe Hello to Mouse!! 🐭


    Spend the afternoon refactoring. MUGicalNode now uses Lambda Layers for dependencies, and also uses SQS queue as trigger (rather than kludgy cron job)! So far so good…

    I recently read a productivity tip to listen to videogame soundtracks when you’re trying to work. Reason being they’re meant to be unobtrusive but motivating. So far it’s working! https://t.co/ifYiuK2SAM
