Hello, this site is a public slice of my personal journal where I share what I’m interested in and what I’ve learned — usually about engineering, business, and life. A few of the problems I’m currently spending a lot of time thinking about are the ability (or lack thereof) to create great software at scale, creating artificial organs, and optimizing my personal health.
My long-form writing is posted on my blog while my thoughts that aren’t fleshed out enough for a full entry are posted as a stream of consciousness. I’m currently compiling a list of the 100 books that I would read over and over again and I maintain a blogroll of writings and websites I love to read.
