Helping with decorations at #msignite

A month ago, I started a new job search — next week, I start a new role 🎉

In the meantime, I’ve been building something close to my heart ❤️

I’ve turned bedtime stories for my daughters into a bilingual picture-book series — Lucky Family Story — created with AI tools.

I’m locked in! Time to prep. 5 conversations started today. Happy Friday 🫡 #getajob

What’s your biggest docs pain? 🤔

After 25 years in software, I'm leaving the corporate world to go indie in AI.

Code, creativity, and storytelling are colliding—and I'm diving in.

Let’s build something weird and wonderful.

I saw Microsoft Learn's poll and I thought "Where's 2016?".

Very small audience for this comic, but I thought I'd share anyways 🙂

After an incredible journey at Stripe, I’m seeking my next adventure as a Software Engineering Manager. I bring expertise in crafting high-performance, accessible web solutions, product ownership, team leadership, and mentoring. Let’s connect to build something amazing!

Thanks to my wife’s cousin who gave my 4 year old this music box kit made for 12 year olds. 🤓 The pieces are so tiny it feels a little sadistic. 😈

One more time with more energy!
