What has my attention.

A frequently updated snapshot of what I’m working on, learning, reading, training, and thinking about.

Building

Mereday, a native Mac app for tidying Desktop and sorting Downloads with previews, receipts, and Undo. Also continuing work on platform automation and a personal budgeting tool.

02

Learning

System design, networking, applied AI, and the decisions behind reliable distributed systems.

03

Reading

Engineering postmortems, platform RFCs, AI research, and books that connect technology to human capability.

04

Training

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu three times a week, strength work, and the patient practice of establishing a base.

05

Thinking about

How AI changes engineering leverage, how to age with strength, and what meaningful work looks like over a long horizon.

06

Experiments

Small AI-assisted workflows, better mental models, and publishing unfinished ideas with intellectual honesty.
