Now

Can’t believe the year’s almost over. Realized my last update here was back in January, on the first day of the year. I feel like a lot’s shifted since then. There’s been a lot of internal recalibration: spent most of the year trying to cut noise, relearn how to think clearly, and deciding to move with more intention now. Ideas are sharper now.

Did HNG once again, met some really cool people, had coffee chats with strangers, went through a few interviews, convocated, started a new job, went to a tech summit (as sponsor😜), the family expanded, travelled, started posting my works on X, got into robotics, watched a run of 90s-2010s films, started learning the bass, redesigned my site, bought new books, started investing, burned out, and a lot more.

Goal right now is to keep showing up, keep learning, read more, and get back into intentional writing.

Been thinking a lot about what I actually want to build. I’ve made a ton of stuff, some just to see if I could, some with more purpose. Now, I just want to focus on things that actually excite me long-term.

Christmas felt extra special this year…

Messing around with 3D design, mainly for apparels. It’s fun, frustrating, and actually kind of meditative. No idea if I’ll stick with it, but I guess it’s a nice skill to have.

It’s my birthday today. So much I could say, but I’ll keep it simple. I’m grateful.
