Now

What I’m up to right now

(updated September 2025)

Home & Projects: My wife and I have relocated from Watertown, MA, to Bronxville/Yonkers in Westchester County, NY. We closed on our house in June and are gradually unpacking and organizing. Current focus is small projects around the house and yard. Next up: building out a garage workshop for woodworking and electronics. I’m also considering clover for the front yard as a low-maintenance lawn alternative.

Relationships: Building roots in our new community while staying connected with family and friends. Hosting neighbors, keeping up with far-flung loved ones, and making time for fun with my wife amid the ongoing transition.

Coding: Developing and refining my SaaS scheduling app (Rails 8), testing new features like schedule revisions, and exploring adjacent opportunities in niche B2B software. Experimenting with AI tools to accelerate coding and market research.

Reading/Writing: Recently finished The Happiness Hypothesis (Jonathan Haidt) and Show Me a Hero: A Tale of Murder, Suicide, Race, and Redemption (Lisa Belkin)—both excellent. Currently reading Abundance (Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson) and The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen (Linda Colley). These books are reshaping how I think about institutions, governance, and resilience. I also published a blog post responding to Balaji Srinivasan on the decline of the West—part of my ongoing reflection on politics and society.

Health: GI symptoms remain much improved since leaving clinical work. Daily fitness at Planet Fitness, sleep, and diet remain priorities. Feeling stronger and more balanced.

Life Reflection: Moving was disruptive, but settling here is opening space for creativity, productivity, and civic engagement. My focus now: SaaS development, local politics, personal growth, and building a more orderly, joyful daily life.

Stay tuned for more updates!
