I am Alexander Murmann and this is my personal blog. I work as an engineering leader at VMware and previously at Pivotal, Pivotal Labs and NCC Group. All opinions and views expressed here are my own and not those of my current or past employers.

I expect that I’ll be mostly writing here about Software Engineering and discussions of books I found insightful. Much of this blog’s purpose if for me to organize my thoughts and maybe someone else will benefit from sharing them. My past blogging attempts have failed because I set the bar for what I deemed interesting too high and published nothing. If I publish stuff that’s trivial and boring I’ll have overcome that particular issue and succeeded.
