About
I'm Geoffrey Hunt, a software developer based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Back in the day I couldn't find a domain and long distance running, was and still is a big love of mine. Hence the domain runningdeveloper.com
I thought I would post about all my running adventures here. That's not quite what happended with my 1 post a year average 😅.
Software development
I am a software developer.
Kind of lost right now with AI. It's super helpful but also made it a little less fun.
Currently a freelance/contract developer, building web applications for clients.
Take a look at my Github account for some other experiments and open source work github.com/runningdeveloper
Running
Yikes I'm struggling right now 😞. I hope I can bounce back.
Enjoying hiking right now. It gives me a sense of adventure as running does.
I'm an amateur long distance runner and not very fast. My running goes in cycles, sometimes I'm doing lots of runs and races. Then I go through a dry patch where I don't run 😟. Being a runner I need to tell you that I finished the Comrades Marathon (89km) four times. I have done a few videos in the past about some of the running I've done (please do not watch they are so cringe now).
In 2022 I ran every day, this did wonders for my running and health.
I have an extensive bucket list of races I'm trying to tick off. Please send me more ideas.
Other Stuff
Lots of interests and ideas, but can't seem to focus on any of them for long.
This website is built with Astro, used to be Gatsby (seems to have kind of died 😥), before that Wordpress and some home baked static html. "We learn!"
