James Bowen
I'm a Java Developer and DevOps Engineer working at Australia Post. My role is pretty rewarding right now, but it wasn't always like this.
In the early years of my career, I felt overwhelmed with the amount we have to do to keep up in the tech industry and fought burnout like we all do. I realised that there needed to be a better way.
I discovered productivity systems such as GTD in 2013 and "Learning How to Learn" techniques in 2015. I have been using those ever since to accelerate my career.
I blog on my website learncoderetain.com about these subjects and more, and love to refine and find new ways of working.
