This is a /now page. A snapshot of what’s going on, what I’m thinking about, and what I’m enjoying. It changes. That’s the point.

Life

Pollen season has been brutal this year. I don’t know if it’s the climate, the birch trees, or just my imagination, but everything hit harder and earlier than usual. The good news: it should be almost over. The bad news: I said that last week too. On a brighter note, we went foraging for wild garlic recently and came home with a ridiculous haul. Most of it became pesto, but I also fermented a batch to see what happens. Foraging is one of those activities that makes you pay attention to what’s actually growing around you, which is a good counterweight to staring at screens all day.

Work

Work is in a good place. I’m on Spotify’s User Platform, and the people around me are brilliant. We’re creating the space we need to figure out genuinely complicated problems in the user authorization space, which is the kind of work I find most rewarding: ambiguous, technical, and consequential.

AI

AI is front and center for me right now, both professionally and personally. The pace of development is unlike anything I’ve experienced in two decades of working in tech, and I find myself experimenting and applying things in real time rather than observing from a distance. I’m looking for speaking opportunities on the topic. If you’re organizing something and think I could contribute, reach out.

Always

Music. Sourdough. Runs in the woods. Some things are constants.
