New Blog
A new blog about Software, Space, Skiing, Archery, and more
Why?
Why not? But if I had to rationalize it, I would pick:
- I’m an aspiring author, I need to develop some routine around writing every day.
- I’m doing some research on Satellite tracking and other space-related software as preparation for a new gig at a startup, so I’ll have content (and need to take notes).
- Someone might actually learn something useful from it - I picture my daughter reading through it one day and learning more about me.
- It might be a good resource for folks with a background similar to mine joining the Space Industry.
- I sort of feel I don’t have a voice/presence on the internet these days, since I don’t use social media - so this will be my voice!
- I also want to publish some of the code I have laying around in my workspace, and this will hopefully motivate me to actually do it.
What?
Expect some rambling, and links to code.
Who?
I have a blurb I had to write about myself a while back, for a work event. So let’s go with that:
My full name is Thiago Robert Claudino dos Santos. I immigrated from Brazil to the Bay Area in 2005. I’ve worked as a software engineer at Google for over 1/3 of my life, and also did time with Twitter (via Periscope’s acquisition) and Motorola (resume).
My hobbies include archery, skiing/snowboarding, traveling, and photography. Fun fact, one of my life goals is to visit as many different countries as my current age (I’m currently at 34 for 40, a lot of catching up to do).
When?
Starting today, all through 2022, once a day! And hopefully this will be something I would want to continue into the future.
Where?
I’ll probably host it on github pages (also considering medium). The code will be at https://github.com/thiagorobert and I’ll link deployed applications out of http://thiago.pub (currently points to my resume).
