Who is behind adro.codes?

My name is Adriaan but I commonly go by AJ. I am a Senior Engineer at Southpaw. Previously, I worked at Merkle Australia, where I worked on a JAMStack accelerator. This solution is currently closed source but I intend to outline the learnings of this solution in the papers published here.

I have been experimenting and developing headless solutions for the past 5 years, over that time I have found good, alright and bad ways of building products/websites. I am hoping through reading some of my articles you'll find some guidance on the best way to implement a feature or what to consider when building certain experiences. The information in these articles will be coming from experience and solutions I have been a part of. Although I won't be able to talk about most clients directly, I should be able to give an overview of the client and the problems we were trying to solve.

A few topics to get you started (these will take you to my personal websites, open in new tab is your friend);
