What I'm Doing Now

Updated monthly. This is what I’m focused on in July 2026.

Day Job

Everything’s going well. I’m getting a laptop this month, which takes me away from the Mac Studio. That’s a good thing - I like being a bit more mobile, especially when working remotely. You need that flexibility.

The graph database work continues to evolve. I’ve been diving deep into knowledge graph architectures and how they surface implicit relationships across complex data domains. There’s something satisfying about modelling interconnected systems in a way that actually reflects how the real world works. I’ve written a few internal blog posts on the topic that might eventually make their way onto the company blog.

Alongside the graph stuff, I’ve taken on onboarding internal teams onto the new platform and making sure we’re chipping away at technical debt. Not the sexiest of jobs, but someone has to do it. That’s the job, isn’t it? You do what needs doing.

After Hours

The house is still not finished and it’s getting me down. The painters aren’t coming until August, so the stairs still have no carpet. I need them to finish before I can sort that out. Just waiting, really.

The garden is doing well though. It’s been very hot this month. My hydrangeas aren’t doing as well as I’d hoped, but they’re better than last year, so that’s something. I’m trying to make the back garden feel a bit more like my own space.

On the development side, I’ve been using Herdr - a terminal multiplexer for AI coding agents. It lets you run multiple agents in one terminal with real-time state awareness. You can see at a glance who’s running, who’s waiting for input, and who’s done. I think it’s going to be a bit of a game changer for my workflow.
