/now

Things I’m focused on right now. Inspiration taken from other /now pages.

What I’m Working On

• Doing more data engineering type work on top of typical backend work. Learning about Databricks.
• Writing more.
• Making some small, personal web apps here and there using FastAPI and HTMX.
• Diving into the world of split keyboard layouts.

What I’m Thinking About

• How to be more creative after having been working in engineering for so long. Need to use the other side of my brain. Currently that is writing poetry. Might try drawing next.
• Trying to be more intentional in the world of digital consumption.

What I’m Learning

• How to stay physically balanced and healthy. Using bouldering as an outlet for that.
• How to level up my sourdough. Experimenting with things like porridge loaves.
• Haven’t been reading that much these days outside of the internet. But I do have an endless list of unread books.

What I’m Letting Go Of

• Letting work consume too much of my energy.
