Hey, I'm Paul. I'm a software developer and instructor who loves using code to solve problems and bring ideas to life!
About
I'm a software developer, instructor, and tech nerd originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland but now living in Pendleton, Oregon, USA.

On this site I will share what I'm working on, what I'm learning, and my thoughts and feelings on software and life. I'll be treating this site as my "digital garden" - that means as articles become old and out of date, they'll either be pruned or updated. All content on this site should be up-to-date and hopefully useful.
Want to learn more about me and my work? Check out my code on Github, follow me on Mastodon, or get in touch by email at hello@paulmcbride.com.
If you enjoy anything you read here or find it useful, I'd really appreciate you sharing it, or signing up to my newsletter where you can hear more about what I'm working on.
