Patch Note 23.041825

From busy workdays to quiet evenings, the patterns of how I balance (or don’t balance) work and life have been eye-opening. In this issue, I’ll share what I’ve learned and what I’m trying to change.

I am currently working on a automated workflow at work. I am working with Dynatrace on the daily. Dynatrace is an Observability tool. You might ask what that is: it is a type of technology that lets your get deeper insights on infrastructure and applications. Within Dynatrace they have a custom app called Workflows, that lets you string together tasks and create your own custom automations.

I am a big proponent on self service. I want other people to learn on their own, so I am setting up a way to query the environment to get all the dashboard JSON files. This JSON file includes the id, dashboardMetadata, metadata, and tiles[]. Then once we have the complete list of dashboards, we are going to upload all of those files to the company GitLab. Then new app teams and users can come to us and we can say. Here is a complete list of our dashboards, go play around. This is a simple workflow, but the underlying thing that I learned about this. Is that I love to automate things. I am lazy at the end of the day, however I know when things can be streamlined. That is a skill I am trying to hone a little bit.

Peering Up Through a Tree

I’m exploring the intersection of technology and self-expression — from deploying frontend projects in minutes to unpacking childhood memories and conversations that crack you open. This blog is where code meets soul. Where reflections on family, forgiveness, and identity sit next to lessons in software, systems thinking, and rapid prototyping. It’s all one journey. One MVP at a time.

Cosas Brillosas

A meditation on relationships, vulnerability, and the shiny distractions that teach us who we are. This post weaves through conversations, coding breakthroughs, and the lessons passed down from my mother—exploring the tension between connection and control, depth and distance. At its core, it's about showing up fully: in love, in work, and in the creative process.
