Now

Last Update: Aug 24, 2023. I’m in Berkeley, California.

This page is about what I’m working on now.

Writing

1,000 Leaps: I started this project in mid-2023. I’m collecting stories about how interesting people get started and keep going. I am sharing a story daily until I reach 1,000. I will reach this goal by April 2026.

Friday Letters: I started this project in September 2022. I’m writing a short weekly letter to my friends. You can sign up for the secret letter here.

Visual Art

Berkeley Streets: I take my Nikon D800 camera with a 28-300 lens on my daily walk around my neighborhood in Berkeley. I started uploading my photos in late 2022. As you can see, I am surrounded by flowers and cats.

Doodling: I started posting my doodles on Instagram. I started on index cards, but now I’m fancy and use a design tool called Figma.

What Else?

Job: I GSD at a tech company.

Exercise: I swim on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I play basketball on Saturdays. I bike once a week in between.

Family: I’m married to my wife, Youali.

Cooking: I do a fair amount of cooking at home. I make great Italian ragu, salmon, and excellent grilled chicken.
