intro
The idea of a now page was introduced to me by Derek Sivers. There’s many lovely examples on the web of how these pages look.
Think of what you’d tell a friend you hadn’t seen in a year.
Daily
- Software Engineering for Zulzi
- Currently working on Checkers' Sixty60 mobile team. Mostly React Native work
- Maintaining Goosebumps & this blog as my sandbox for learning.
Topics I’m currently obsessed with
- Architecture - recently AWS certified 😄. Related notes here
- UX
- How teams build & deliver software
- Product development - a natural extension of the devops topic tbh
- Writing - Trying to keep my friends
accountable to their writing goals.
Coupled with setting up customised plans to help you write more!

- Node & AI CLI app
- Learn go with tests
- Button that takes you to a random spotify playlist of yours.

- E-commerce PoC, React + Redux, Bun + Hono, and of course SST.
curating music
A crucial part of my daily life, I have been actively curating music since almost as far back as memory can take me.
The process is both systemic & free-flowing, and it’s so much fun for me! Crate digging in blog posts, DJ mixes, algorithms, rabbit-holes at 2AM on a Sunday morning, lots of recommendations from friends (this is the source of the highest quality music)
- Recording and uploading DJ mixes
every other Sunday, at sunset. - Building & writing music content on goosebumps.fm
