✨ introducing... [wip]

Jun 11, 2025

Over the last year and a half I’ve experimented with codeOutLoud as a conduit. It’s been fun! Knowledge has been gained and significant growth attained both personally and professionally since the inception of this Substack.

During the last few months, I’ve done a lot of thinking. 🤔

You may - or may not - have noticed a recent, subtle rebrand as I tried to formalize my thoughts, goals, “personal brand,” and what’s in store for the future. Alas, it’s not quite enough. At least for me.

here’s what’s been on my mind:

So → I’m rebranding once more with more intention!

Plus, a new podcast will come to life that has been brewing internally for a while! 🎙️

[WIP]: human development in tech

[WIP]: human development in tech is both a substack newsletter and a podcast about the messy, honest, and ongoing process of growth - featuring real stories from people in tech who are all a work in progress.

If you’re not familiar, “WIP” is often used to declare that a pull/merge request, technical document, or a project is in “draft” mode. It’s a Work In Progress!

What does this mean moving forward?

newsletter

Cadence: (mostly) bi-weekly to monthly

Newsletter posts about things I’m trying out, learning about, and experiencing will continue. Business as usual in that department, but with a new name and face!

podcast

Launch: Sometime in July 2025

Cadence: (ideally) weekly

The intent is to humanize the tech industry with curiosity as we learn about the ups and downs, the lessons, and the progress discovered in tech.

A majority of the episodes will feature guests! I will reach all across the industry including not only engineers, but also support, product, design, marketing, strategists, coaches, and more! Some smaller snippets will be sprinkled in to share my own learning moments and - perhaps - learning moments from others.

here’s a glimpse at the new branding 👀

join me!

Over the next several weeks, you may see changes to reflect the new name and face that will trickle into all existing posts and upcoming new posts alongside my new YouTube channel and personal branding on LinkedIn.

If you’re interested in following along, Substack will be my “home base,” meaning:

See you soon with a new name and face! 😅 ✨ 💖

thanks so much for reading! ✨

All of this (the podcast, the posts, the projects) happens on nights and weekends. If something here saved you a headache, the tip jar is always open.
