Sunday Afternoon
By Yakko MajuriWhat is this website?
This is hopefuly will be where I host my "stream of
consciousness" blog. My more structured and education-focused
technical writing can still be found
here.
Why is it called 'Sunday Afternoon'?
Sunday afternoons are often when I'm most contemplative, as well as when I generally have the most time to spare. They have traditionally been when I develop my best concepts for writing, so the blog name felt appropriate. The bulk of the writing for this blog will also probably happen on sunday afternoons.
Contact
If you're a recruiter for a full-time role, the one and only way of getting a hold of me is through here. I ignore all LinkedIn messages and emails from recruiters.
For all other reasons, you can reach me at:
yakko [dot] majuri [at] protonmail [dot] com
If you'd like to work with me on a consultancy / freelance basis please make that known in the subject of the email so it doesn't risk being ignored like the messages about full-time roles.

As someone who does not have a social media presence, I'll be using this blog to display some of my favorite pictures. Currently work in progress - more albums coming soon.
