Now pages are pretty cool. This is mine, last updated 8 months, 1 week ago.
Working from home for over 8 years now, from Lisboa, Portugal. Not missing office life for a second.
Settling into the role of Engineering Manager at Plex. Still feeling the pull to write code, but it's getting harder to do every day. Might need to return to side projects for that hit. Finding the kind of balance that lets me do that again feels overdue.
Wrestling the needs of a demanding 3 ½-year-old with my own and my partner’s often feels like living in two worlds—one full of noise and joy, the other aching for quiet and creation. Most days, I’m still figuring out how to bridge them.
Super into Magdalena Bay these days, Brian Eno's ambient works (always and forever) and whatever the YouTube algorithm throws my way. Usually it's stuff like Japanese ambient, DnB compilations and weird jazzy releases, so I keep feeding it my attention.
Reading a lot of non-fiction. Currently:
The Art of Noticing by Rob Walker is making me want to lean harder into finding new ways of seeing the world around me
Saving Time by Jenny Odell is making me question the very notion of time and how I've been stuck trying to optimize for it instead of questioning it at a more fundamental level
My to-read stack is too large to share, but The Empusium by Olga Tokarczuk is at the top.
The last great book I read? The Wall by Marlen Haushofer shook me to my core with its quietly feminist, environmentalist message. Equal parts Walden and Station Eleven.
Most days, I’m trying to:
- Write one good sentence.
- Take one good photo.
- Move a little slower.
Thinking a lot about the tension between doing and being. Overthinking is a superpower–until it stops you from moving forward. So I'm trying to do a little less of that and accepting the mistakes as natural part of doing, of living.
That’s where I’m at right now: trying, failing and trying again.
