What I'm doing now
This is a Now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. A living document capturing what I’m focused on right now—the kind of updates I’d share when friends ask, "What have you been up to?"
Achievements
- Co-founded heyPermit with my dear colleague Cristian. We pitched our idea at Kiez and were selected for their six-month validation program.
Current Focus
- Actively leading engineering efforts in two exciting domains:
- As Director of Software Engineering at a biomanufacturing startup, building a digital system to navigate through the complex landscape of bioinformatics research & datasets.
- As CTO at a career development startup, architecting and building a "career coach" to support GenZ and Millenials stuck in a quarter-life crisis.
- Wrapping up a year-and-a-half long entrepreneurial journey in biodiversity and green energy with heyPermit. Taking time to reflect and write about the experience.
I’ve weathered the AI revolutionI will admit, this AI wave keeps giving! I have weathered previous tech shifts, but the pace and potential here feels scary and exciting at the same time. Keeping a builder's mindset, and experimenting selectively.- Learning Zig for fun and perspective. Golang remains my tool of choice for getting things done.
Books
- Currently reading "The Complete Stories, Vol. 1" by Isaac Asimov — keeping the AI flame alive.
- Regularly revisiting The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself by Sean Carroll, one of my favorite physicists and science communicators.
