Now

Work

Leading platform strategy at NYU. Most days are spent in the seam between teams that own infrastructure and teams that own products — getting them to agree on what an interface is.

Building

This site. A small CLI for tracking my collection. Refusing to start a fourth side project until one of the first three is finished.

Reading

Make A Seat (Don Allen Stevenson III). Becoming You (Suzy Welch). Working in Public (Eghbal), again. Half-finished essays in the open tab graveyard.

Listening

Keith Jarrett — The Köln Concert. Pat Metheny Group — Offramp. A lot of 1978–1982 ECM.

Not doing

Twitter. Speaking engagements. Side projects that require a backend.
