Hi! I am a new Developer Advocate at Anvil!

Hello, hello! I’m Tony, I recently joined Anvil as a new Developer Advocate and I will soon be on duty to help you guys out, so I figured I should introduce myself to you all :smile:

My background is in general engineering with a specialization in management and data science, and I have actually been using Anvil as a tool for the past two years as part of my previous job (in fact, you might have seen me lurking around these forums). Hopefully, this puts me in a good position to understand and help with any issues you guys might be having.

On a more personal note, I’m a big ol’ nerd (how surprising!!): I love video games, computers and everything that would get my lunch money stolen for talking about it too loud in the cafeteria. I have been living in Japan for a few years and have recently relocated to the UK to work with Anvil, and it’s been a blast so far!

Since I’ve been lurking around for a bit, I know that this community is filled with really nice, pleasant people, and I can’t wait to give back this great energy you’ve all infused these forums with. I look forward to meeting you all :grin:

Cool. What’s your primary focus for now?

I’ve been doing a lot of different things, but right now, I’m focused on writing some documentation for our routing dependency, to give it a place within Anvil docs and make it a bit easier to get started with. Fun stuff :sunglasses:

Awesome. It did take me a while to find that documentation as it wasn’t with the standard one. How does that end up happening?

The idea is to have a bit of a routing quickstart/introduction added to the standard Anvil docs near the Navigation section, pointing to the routing-specific documentation where necessary, that way other users hopefully won’t need to search as long as you did :smile:

Shouldn’t take too long before that’s out in the wild! In the meantime, we added some changes to the routing-specific doc which should make it a bit easier to get into.
