Human data point based in SF. I talk about data engineering and open source on occasion 💖

Views my own.
Sooooo have not been on top of things lately. Spend a couple weeks behind and it takes forever to catch up all of a sudden! 😩

This year has by far been my busiest year across so many initiatives, definitely need to cut down or do some personal quarterly management 🫠

And now they can use fightpaperwork.com to get paid for their work :D

Just came up w/ a very chewy talk "Decentralized Governance and Context engineering in the age of Edge AI" for a gaming conference.

We're about to hit monolithic context engineering with architecture consolidation + MCP, will we do distributed context engineering after? Are we already? Let me know.

Why are some old Caucasian men so candid around Asian women. No, I did not ask you why you think Trump is great. No, I won't tell you 'where I'm really from'. And I have no idea what you just said to me in Thai- now please leave me be in peace to read my book in this coffee shop 🙄

Just finished Rejection by @tonytula.com

Very raw and unfiltered, ultra millennial and raised-on-the-internet take on identity and sexual self ego. Loved the first few short stories but felt a bit dragged in the second half. I personally love that it exists and it had great prose and variety.

Doing backlog book reviews. This one was a re-read, and very interesting to revisit after a year in my current role. I missed all the contextualizing of business plans with her examples (particularly looking back at Elastic and NGINX) and the licensing forewarnings. Great primer for a founder or PM.

Had a fun time exploring Orlando this evening. The theme parks are not really my jive so the real highlight was Lake Eola's birds and hitting up North Orange St. Fun folks all about.

Just picked up #SleepToken and @babymetal.bsky.social tickets ⚡ It's a good year to be a metal head in SF 💖

Wow trying to draft a business documents with no wifi on an airplane is so painful, but it really makes you realize where you sit on the dunning-krueger chart. A lot less lived in my head than I assumed

Forgot to take a photo during but today's Borderlands SciFi book club meet was Childhood's End.

A very disjointed story with an interesting premise, but falls off after the reveal of Karellen. It's almost hilariously pro-colonial by how the Overlords are framed as saviours. Fever dream ending.

Taejin and I met randomly once while I was on layover at the Incheon airport- and now I'm making him speak at my meetup. Come check out the awesome roster we've put together with him, Datastax, Hasura, and Pinterest.
