🧠 Building a Memex
I haven't been this excited about a side project in a while. Essentially, I'm building a system that will let me search through everything I've ever written, seen, read, or found impactful in some way. Check out my latest newsletter for more context.
📝 Writing a blog & newsletter
This website / blog and Thot's Thoughts (monthly newsletter) are my avenues for creative output. My goal is to write a few thot-ful things every month.
🏊🏽♂️ Learning to Swim

👨🏽💻 Engineering @ WhatsApp
I'm excited to say that I'm now an engineer on the Graph Infra team at WhatsApp (the address book, group messaging, blocklists, etc.) — I'm spending my time learning Erlang, functional programming, and containerization.
