I wasn't feeling fulfilled by my work either, so I started working on a side project to scratch my creative itch.

Over the last few years I've been building a sequencer (https://github.com/sparkled/sparkled) that synchronises LEDs to music. I love both the artistic and architectural challenges it presents.

In my day job, I love it when I can add tests to existing code or refactor code to be more readable/maintainable/performant. I'm currently working as a contract software engineer, so I get to move between projects quite a bit, and I find that helps to keep things interesting.
