engineering · music · ideas

My name is Ewan Valentine, I’m from the UK and I’ve been an engineer for around ten years. I’ve worked at companies such as BBC, LAD bible and Netlify, to name a few. My main focus is back-end (Golang), and distributed systems. I’m currently doing a Masters in Computer Science at the University of York.

I’m a Derby County supporter and I write and record music. You will likely bump into me at various metal gigs and festivals in the UK and Europe.

This blog is a place for me to develop my ideas, share things I have learnt, and generally vent.

You may be here expecting to see the lengthy series I wrote on Microservices, unfortunately those posts were lost and I currently don’t have the time to rewrite them. If I’m honest, I’m not sure I ever will as I suspect the microservices era is largely over. So if that’s why you’re here, I apologise and hope that you find at least some value in the new content.
