whether you need help with a project, a second opinion on engineering decisions, or just someone to geek out with over music theory, chess, running, terrace house, and so on — i'm more than happy to have a chat :D

things i use

• MacBook Air M1, 2020 - 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD

  lightweight, durable, and good enough to get the job done.

• Any 27" monitor

  the comfiest size for me. any bigger and i'll have a lot of unused space, especially with dual monitors or ultrawides. smaller sizes (even on just the macbook) can work with smart window management.

• NeoVim + tmux

  thanks to these guys, i often only need 2 windows to work - my terminal and my browser. i'm only ever looking at one workspace at a time (great for focus), but switching to another project / repo or spinning up a background job can be done with only a few keystrokes.

• Notion

  everything i need for project management, studying, note-taking, and so on. i love that the interface is mostly a clean black & white, putting full emphasis on the content itself and not the surrounding ui. and of course, the keyboard shortcuts are amazing.

• Google Calendar

  pretty much anything that happens in my life gets calendared - meetings, workouts, chores, hangouts. tasks always have a due date, whether it's next week or in 6 months. this helps remind me to do things, assess task urgency off the bat, and give quick answers regarding my availability.

• Sennheiser MTW3

  the noise cancellation isn't as good as sony's wf-1000xm4, but the sound quality is superb - as if you're wearing over-ear headphones. i may not make music as often anymore, but i sure love listening to it.
