The Now Page

Inspired by Derek Sivers. What I'd tell you over coffee if you asked. Updated by hand — last touched May 18, 2026.

§ 01

Building

PlugQueue, a queue management app for Electrify America charge points. The problem: you pull up, all stations are taken, no system exists. The goal: fix that.

§ 02

Reading

Nothing, which is bothering me. Next up: The Rust Programming Language (the official book). The borrow checker and I need to have a talk.

§ 03

Watching

Eric Rosen on YouTube. Chess tactics dressed up as content. The man finds brilliancies in bullet games like it's nothing.

§ 04

Thinking about

Isolating my discipline drivers. Which of my mini-OCDs are actually superpowers and which are just anxiety with better branding?

§ 05

Listening to

Vahem by Rochak Kohli. An incredible find. The kind of song you loop until the algorithm catches up.

§ 06

Avoiding

Bad actors. The word "yes" when I should say "let me think." Opening up faster than I should.

ALSO ·
Bay Area based · open to interesting conversations on distributed systems, ML systems, and things that scale. The inbox is slow but reliable.
