Now

This page should be like a quick update I’d give a friend when they ask, “What’s new with you?” It’s a simple way to share what I’m focused on—projects, interests, or life updates—without the noise of social media.

• I’m just returning to the US after having to go back to Slovakia for a medical emergency. I’ve been thinking about health a lot lately, and I’ve been pretty good about building healthier habits over the last couple of months. I want to be around to enjoy time with the kids.
• My oldest is now obsessed with Minecraft, and we’ve been spending a lot of quality time mining and building together.
• I’ve just changed jobs — I started at DoorDash and will be working on some exciting internal tooling with folks I’ve loved working with before.
• I’ve become more and more obsessed with building with AI. I think the Opus 4.5 model has been a huge step-change in quality, and I now have multiple fun side projects going.
• I’ve eased up on reading lately, mostly because I’m not making progress on The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. As much as I love the writer and the worldbuilding is super interesting, I think this one might be a DNF for me. I did read a lot more sci-fi last year, though.
• I’ve built (most of) the aluminum workbenches I was excited about this past year. I haven’t gotten a lot of other projects done, so I’m a bit worried I’ve caught the “only have shop projects” disease. Looking forward to getting back to it when it’s warmer.
• Still fantasizing about buying some land upstate and building or renovating a house in the woods. One day, maybe.
