I used to know how to share on the internet. I didn’t care too much; I shared anything, often, and it was fun. Now, I just don’t feel as though I know how anymore.

I remember tweeting from my BlackBerry in high school, or from the custom Twitter UI I’d built in the backend of my website’s CMS so I could tweet from school computers. I tweeted so much that I reached 53k tweets in just a three years (~2014). I was young. Twitter was hugely important for my career when I was younger, it was a great place to be, and I was good at just sharing anything there, sometimes without much thought.

I wrote blog posts on earlier versions of my personal website, made side-projects and GitHub projects more often, or shared images on Instagram. I really enjoyed chatting with my friends Jordan and Julian often about technology, stationery and whatever we wanted really, sharing it all under the Mavis Podcast title until we stopped recording new episodes in 2020.

I still read other blogs often and follow the ramblings and updates from people I follow on Mastodon, or more recently, BlueSky. I can’t shake being a timeline completionist on text based social media platforms, but the muscle to share anything has drastically weakened and in the past 9 years, the majority of my sharing has been through, or on behalf of, my job.

By way of an introduction, I’m Andrew, founder and CTO of energy-tech company Hark which was acquired in 2023 by an S&P500 technology company. I love building great products that solve real-world problems, and building teams that do just that. I play Oldschool Runescape for fun, enjoy Formula 1 and love writing daily with my favourite stationery and fountain pens.

I’d like to start sharing more on the internet again, exercising this muscle. I’ll try post more on Mastodon, my blog and share more on my GitHub. I’ve even flirted with the idea of live streaming some coding sessions for fun in the future, but I’m very far off having the nerve or interest to do that just yet.

I don’t know what I’ll share, how often, or where, but I’ll try. Maybe it’ll be interesting for others.

If you’d like, you can email me, or find me on Mastodon and say hello. :)
