About Liam Beeton

I'm Liam Beeton. I'm a software developer and my partner and I have two boys; the youngest is 5 and the eldest is 7. So that keeps me busy for the majority of my waking hours.

I'm also a tinkerer, a lifelong learner and a collector of hobbies. So, on this blog, I invite you to share in my fascination with any or all of the following:

• Trail running and mountain biking
• Cybersecurity — open source intelligence (OSINT) and red teaming
• Artificial Intelligence — mainly high-performance Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems
• Making music — electronic music and music production
• Photography — digital and film
• Building LEGO Technic — mostly supercars
• Sojourns around South Africa
• Adventures in parenting
• Bullet journals, second brain and intentional living
• And yes, programming and software development — I consider myself a pretty versatile developer (frontend, backend, testing and everything in between), so you should hopefully see that reflected in what I share here!
