Welcome,

Most people don't know me or what I'm doing most of the time :)

Yet, I enjoy programming and building things that work. Or taking pictures of bugs

I am normally working on a DVIR system, but often work on open source repos.

You can find me as ReeceM or iexistin3d (cause I do)

This website is a central place for any articles tutorials or tips I share. I will also share the occasional riddle or too.
