About

I build apps and write. What I’ve always wanted is an empty calendar and the freedom to work on whatever I’m curious about, for as long as I’m alive.

I like lists, so since you’re here:

• I travel less these days, but I’ve been to more than 40 countries.
• I’ve taken pictures since I was a kid. I wrote about why here, and the ones I like live here.
• I’ve journaled since 2019, after a 17-year gap. From 9 to 26, to be exact.
• I like well-designed things I can’t afford. Luckily, I don’t own much stuff.
• I’ve always picked the more interesting job over the better-paid one, which is why I can’t afford the things in the line above.
• I never wanted a career. I just like to build stuff and write nonsense.
• I read a lot, mostly novels now. I spent years on self-help books and found better answers in fiction.
