Year in Review - 2025

Following the example of Will Larson (as I often do), I figured I'd give a shot of my 2025 in review. A lot has changed, even if I haven't written about it here, and I should probably give this process a try moving forward.

After a little more than 3 1/2 years, it was time for me to move on from Seed Health. What started out as a pretty crazy idea to leave a well established tech company in Dropbox to establish an Engineering department at a microbial life-sciences startup turned into a fantastic learning and growth opportunity.

Having worked in the software engineering industry professionally for coming up on 15 years, I've seen quite a few hype cycles and fads come and go in various states. Blockchain, NFTs, Microservices, Gatsbyjs, SSG - are but just some that have rocketed themselves into the minds of us nerds more recently. Generally, the popularity and relative impact and value provided by each of these topics can be quite disconnected.
