Still building, still learning. Trying to live a little more slowly and pay closer attention to the small days.

The bigger turns, the small surprises, the years that hold them.
Still building, still learning. Trying to live a little more slowly and pay closer attention to the small days.
Joined a robotic coffee shop startup as my first full-time engineer. Building something that lives in the physical world is its own kind of fun.
First flight across the ocean, first apartment with a porch, first long winter. Cornfields, late-night labs, and a kind of openness I hadn’t felt before.
First real taste of industry. Learned how big software is actually made, and how good engineers think. A summer that changed how I saw the work.
Moved to a new city for college. Met the people who would shape the next decade and discovered I love building things from scratch.
Late nights, exams, and the small thrill of finally being trusted to choose what I cared about. The first place I started to feel like myself.
Three years that taught me how to study, how to lose, and how to keep showing up. The friendships from these classrooms still feel close.
