I love to build. Over the course of a given week, I might write a blog post, hack on a personal project, make up a game to play with my kids, and work on a home construction project such as building a deck.
I've worked at Google, Facebook and Snap, and was an early employee at Uber and Twilio. I do small scale angel investing, along with real estate. I want to do work that someone 100 years from now will say, "I am glad this happened."
I'm currently working on a memoir, and on a protocol to more clearly represent intent in comuting systems.
Telling the story of how modern beliefs made a mess of my life, and how I "rediscovered" ancient ones trying to engineer my way back to functioning personhood.
I have a vision for the future of computing. This makes me either crazy, or a visionary. The only way to find out is to build it and see if it actually works.
