I’m joining Deepnote as a Technical Writer :)
First post on this newly revamped website, figured I’d start with that! Deepnote is a collaborative data notebook platform – think Jupyter, but built for teams working together in the cloud. Came across the role on their careers page and applied. The role aligns well with what I’ve been doing: that mix of community building, developer advocacy, and technical content creation (you might notice what I wrote on my About page about this – I think it aligns well with that).
This seemed like the right moment to revamp my website (previously built with Hugoblox’s academic-theme-cv) since I’m planning to write more. Wanted a proper blog setup with tags, RSS, and the whole shebang.
Came across this tweet from Prashanth Rao about AI-written content versus well-crafted writing – something particularly relevant for Technical Writing.
Started the year off strong with marimo (an open-source reactive Python notebook), ending it strong with Deepnote. Grateful for that.
Writing has always been there in some form – documentation, tutorials, markdown inside notebooks, etc. But this time, I want to be more intentional: a space for notes, developer tools, whatever I’m learning, thoughts on tech, or any updates I feel like sharing.
Don’t want to make this first post too long. RSS feed is at haleshot.github.io/rss.xml if you want to add it to your Newsletter reader.
