Sam Rees

Personal Blog and Website

Hi traveller, I’m Sam and I’m currently a software developer at Cassini Systems in London.

This blog originally started as a bit of a side project as I wanted to explore Yew, a Rust component-based frontend library. However, it quickly took a sharp turn in another direction, with explanations as to why found in my first couple of posts about the building of this blog/website itself.

I hope the following posts provide you with at least some form of entertainment, and maybe even a bit of information. This is probably a good time to mention as a sort of PSA that by no means do I suggest that the code written in these posts is either the correct or idiomatic way to accomplish the tasks I set out to achieve in my posts. I prefer to think of these posts as an informal collection and internal monologue of my learnings as a software engineer. For this reason, I highly encourage anyone who happens to be reading something and spot a mistake to contact me or submit a PR to the markdown of the blog!

If anyone would like to get in touch, you can find me on LinkedIn, GitHub, or send an email to sam.rees@gmail.com
