Welcome to my corner of the internet. Here is a
map of this website, and some specific subpages -
technology travel research
poetry talks
I'm an engineer, poet, writer, and sometimes, a photographer.
I enjoy building (tech, communities, relationships), solving problems, reading, writing, playing badminton, and jamming out to all
sorts of music. See my proof of work
I am deeply passionate about Distributed {Systems, Databases}. If you'd like to talk about this (fair warning: I will engage), please reach out!
I strongly recommend that everyone read Deep Work by Cal Newport at least once.
