About

My name is Alex and I’m a software engineer. I created this blog to share thoughts and ideas that I just can’t keep to myself. Not all of the content here is about software development, but that’s what I spend most of my time doing, so it’s a common theme.

As for the name, Modest Tools, it’s a nod to my general approach to software. I believe in using simple, straightforward tools and techniques that get the job done. I hope you find the content here to be similarly modest and useful.
