    Episode 12 - Being a Software Engineer and first time Dad

    A lot changes when you first get the news that you will be becoming a Dad for the first time. A simple google search out there will bring up a lot of materials that favour women the most. There is very little for the men and so "We" just dive right in and focus on staying above water when the little angel arrives.  I have been thinking about this in the last few days and decided to make an episode discussing the topic. I obviously didn't say everything I thought either because I forgot but I try to distil the main things to be aware of. Hopefully, someone out there finds this useful and you brace yourself for the changes that will happen.

    Interview with Martin Egede

    Interview with Martin Egede In this episode, I get to talk less and listen more. This episode marks the first Guest on The Afro Dev Guy Podcast. I get to learn and listen to the story of how Martin got into Tech. Challenges he faced and what keeps him going in his career. Martin Egede My name is Martin and I work as a Cloud Network Engineer for a company based in London. I started working in IT fully in 2013 when I got a job working night shifts on the Service Desk. I stayed on that path and continued to grow my skills in IT Networking and Cyber Security. In 2020, I changed roles to begin my journey with Cloud technologies which is such a vast space. I enjoy it, but it certainly keeps me on my toes. When I'm not working, you'll probably find me watching football or playing football. I really enjoy playing sports, so that's usually my go-to when I want to have a good time. Besides that, I'm either trying to meet up with close friends (which can be difficult sometimes) or I'm chilling at home with a movie Links Outlanders Diary - https://outlandersdiary.com/ Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-e-12b53466/ Hosts: Ndifreke Ekott - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cancelerx/ Blog: https://ndifreke-ekott.com/
