Sermon Notes - 18 May - Hallowed be your Name

Faith is an important part of my life, and at its core, trying to understand how things plug together is another key part of what makes me me. As part of that, I’ll be sharing sermon notes here from time to time–simple reflections and takeaways from the Sunday messages at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Bangor. I hope they’ll be an encouragement and a way for me to think aloud as I follow Jesus.

Why I Use Netlify Redirects (and Not Hugo's)

One of the most useful things I’ve done for my personal site recently is set up short, memorable URLs that redirect to the tools and platforms I use every day.

New Beginnings

Hi there - I’m glad you’ve found your way here. I’m Adam, and this blog exists for a reason that’s both personal and practical. I live with photosensitive epilepsy and dyspraxia. These conditions shape how I experience the world — sometimes in challenging ways, but often in ways that have given me unique perspectives, habits, and ways of working. Professionally, I’ve built a career in technical consulting. I thrive in environments where I can solve complex problems, build systems that work for people, and translate technical detail into something meaningful. But it hasn’t always been easy to balance that with my own health needs. The truth is, living and working with invisible disabilities often means constantly negotiating boundaries, managing overstimulation, and finding workarounds that aren’t visible to others.
