This is a /now page. It’s what I’d tell a friend I hadn’t seen in a year.
Work
Engineering Manager at DoorDash, leading a team in the Grocery organization. We’re building the systems that power grocery delivery for millions of customers. It’s a fascinating problem space — the logistics, inventory, and real-time coordination challenges are genuinely hard.
Building
- Life OS — Continuing to develop my personal operating system in Obsidian. The latest iteration uses a hybrid architecture: Obsidian for unstructured knowledge (notes, journal entries, ideas) and Postgres for structured data (goals, OKRs, habits, project tracking). It’s the most useful thing I’ve built for myself.
- LLM productivity experiments — Working with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to connect my self-hosted Postgres database to Claude. The goal: natural language queries against my personal data. “What were my top priorities last quarter?” or “Show me habits I’ve been consistent with” — answered from my own data, not a SaaS tool’s.
- This website — You’re looking at it. Built with Hugo and PaperMod, hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
Learning
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how to build useful integrations between LLMs and personal infrastructure
- Advanced Obsidian workflows — Dataview queries, templating, and vault architecture patterns
- Getting better at thinking about what’s worth automating vs. what’s worth doing by hand
