What I'm Doing Now

A snapshot of what's keeping me busy, curious, and caffeinated.

Last updated: March 11, 2026

Currently Working On

Building a new Android phone call screening app — my first serious Kotlin project, learning Jetpack Compose along the way.
Upgrading my OpenClaw and NanoClaw instances constantly — tweaking configs, testing new models, and chasing that perfect local AI setup.
Maintaining and improving this site — always tinkering with blog features, structured data, and performance optimizations.
Experimenting with home automation projects — integrating AI assistants with smart home devices to build something actually useful.

Currently Reading

"Team Topologies" by Matthew Skelton & Manuel Pais — rethinking how we organize teams around flow of change.
"The Staff Engineer's Path" by Tanya Reilly — great insights even from a management perspective.
Various AWS re:Invent 2025 whitepapers on cost optimization and sustainability.
"Crossing the Chasm" by Geoffrey Moore — a re-read that hits differently every time, especially with the current AI adoption curve.

Currently Learning

Deepening my understanding of AI/ML operations and how to integrate LLMs into enterprise workflows responsibly.
Exploring Rust for systems-level tooling — always learning a new language keeps the mind sharp.
Platform engineering patterns: backstage plugins, golden paths, and self-service infrastructure.

Currently Thinking About

How to measure and improve developer experience without adding more surveys to people's plates.
The balance between standardization and team autonomy in large engineering organizations.
What "sustainable pace" really means when the industry moves this fast.
How servant leadership scales — and where the model needs adaptation for distributed teams.

This page is inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page movement. It's a way to share what I'm focused on right now, rather than a full bio or resume. If you're curious about the concept, check out nownownow.com.
