2019 certainly brought a raft of changes and challenges to not just me but everyone. While the world watched in horror as Covid-19 spread like wildfire, my own little world changed when my wife and I welcomed our firstborn in November 2019. A new person, full of potential to learn, to absorb new skills and words at the rate of a dry sponge in a bucket full of water. In December 2019, I moved to a new company and had to learn at the same rate!

My now not-quite-so-new company was founded and is still run by engineers with PhDs in physics and maths, for whom the most fiendish maths calculation (as I see it) is a piece of cake and who probably actually enjoy calculus. It’s my role to translate their knowledge into something the rest of us can easily understand and to do so in bite-sized videos. The world is battling a virulent virus and I’m fighting to understand geolocation and radio frequency monitoring. Our son, meanwhile, is sitting, crawling, and showing a wonderful interest in books.
