## whoami If you're here for the first time, welcome. If you've been here before - welcome back. If you want to know more about me, I'd read through [[Now]] and then [[About]]. The TL;DR is as follows: > I like tech and I like writing. I write lots of code in my free time (daily - as seen on [github](https://github.com)). I also write lots of words (as seen here). I'm interested in financial systems and healthcare systems. I care a lot about craft and good products. > I enjoy talking to interesting people and learning about what problems they're solving. > I've worked at big companies and really tiny ones. ### Contact Me If you want to contact me, send me an email mshivanc at gmail dot com. ### This Site I've used Obsidian daily for five years, it only follows that I'd use it for my website too. Previously, I had a hand rolled Next.js site that wasn't really conducive to me quickly writing something down and publishing it. Which led to a long lag between me publishing thoughts. Here - posts are going to be organised differently, but hopefully more organically and intuitively. In fact, I wouldn't really call individual pages on this website posts, they're more like thoughts. Stuff published here will also have a slightly different tone, more stream of consciousness than refined article. This means that it will be more error-prone, and maybe a bit harder to follow (at first). Longer form posts (which I've written for a wider audience) can still be found on my [blog](https://blog.shivan.dev) - see [[More Formal Writing]]
