Choose My Smoothie was my first pandemic project. Since a child, ever since I came into the idea of web development, all I wanted to do was to work on a website where people could find recipes to make their smoothies using ingredients they had at home.
Flash forward to 2020, work-from-home, and terribly frustrated with how existing recipe websites force me to read endless essays on their smoothie-making-journey and the definition behind each ingredient, I decided to build a website where you could pick from ingredients you had at home, and have it filter recipes that work for you. Only have a banana and peanut butter? CMS only shows you recipes that have these two ingredients.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve developed some sort of “Morning Routine” where I read up as much as I can on the latest in tech news, tech products, and tech in general. I strongly believe I have at least one digital tool for absolutely all my needs. Over time, when friends and family have come to me for my recommendation on things, I’m always more than happy to help out.
I then realised that having an outlet to share these digital tools and tricks that so strongly contribute towards my productivity, could help more than maybe just one person at a time. This is how The Tech-Letter was born. Newsletters were a whole different beast for me – I’d experienced writing before, but nothing in terms of email marketing, curating, and everything that goes on in that world.
I carried out The Tech-Letter for a little over a year and had the absolute most fun with it, before deciding to move onto other projects. Though I don’t send out emails anymore, you can check out all my previous newsletters, any time.
I Freaking Love Smart Gadgets was the first creative project I went live with. Not a big fan of having ‘freaking’ being part of the title, but I really do freaking love smart gadgets.
This was the project that made me fall in love with web development and writing. IFLSG is a blog where my main goal was to soak in everything in tech news, and translate it for not-very-techy folk. Why? Well, I’m very interested in many topics outside my comfort zone, but don’t care enough to read blogs and articles where I don’t necessarily understand the lingo being used. I figured that it was likely that there were people interested in tech, but didn’t care to read about stuff they didn’t understand (what is RAM? what is AI?).
This was a very fun project for me, and I wrote as often as I could. I started an accompanying YouTube channel (don’t judge) that I carried out for a year, created an Alexa Skill for the device to read you my blog posts, and even made an app. You can still read the blog if you’d like!
