Hi friend.
I'm a Creative Entrepreneur and Software Engineer, practitioner of A Hero's Journey, a personal/tech/investing newsletter, and builder of several projects including KolorKit, The Iowa Mockus, and Odaat (my current project, coming soon™). I'm trying to live my best life and share it with the world. Let's get to know each other, shall we?
I love building software.
After five years in Corporate America, I decided to take a sabbatical. While I'm now excited to find a new opportunity to grow in my career with the right company, I'm also taking the time to work on my own projects. In the past I've worked on apps like KolorKit, a color pallette design and organization tool, and The Iowa Mockus, a caucus management app. These days, I'm working on a ground-up rewrite/redesign of KolorKit.
If my life sounds interesting to you, you can sign up for my free weekly newsletter where I put out updates on my journey in addition to thoughts on passion subjects like crypto, investing, and health and wellness.
Have you ever wondered what your dream career looks like? I mean like really thought about it, got into the details?
What's stopping you from purusing that career?
These are the questions I've been asking myself lately, and I realized that there's really very little stopping me from pursuing my dream career. All I needed to do was get clear about what that career looked like.
It's still a work-in-progress, but I have a name for this career: Professional Tinkerer.
Get inspired by my journey to become a Professional Tinkerer by joining the free newsletter today, new issues every Thursday morning.
I've been fascinated by the digital nomad lifestyle for years, travelling extensively, "living" in various places for small amounts of time while working remotely.
I'm going to be travelling and working remotely for 2-3 months out of the year in 2023. I'll be exploring the US extensively, but also going to places like Israel, Mexico, Spain, Italy, and The Netherlands to name a few places I'd like to go to (probably not all of them in 2023, let's be realistic).
Stay up to date with my travels by following me on Instragram.
Deep wealth and income inequality is a destructive force on many of the people of the world’s economy. But, for all the issues that inequality brings, there are some benefits too that are rarely discussed (or at least rarely framed well).
The technology behind crypto is fascinating and incredibly strong, and it will definitely end up overhauling many industries, but right now there’s few real consumer outlets for the crypto economy — in essence, you can put money in and invest it, but you can’t spend it on much.
Back in December, I wrote a story about a blockchain called Terra and why I thought it was the most promising blockchain around. In that story, I included a section on how Terra could fall apart in a theoretical black swan market event, and it seems my worst fears have come true.
I offer consulting for the following subject areas:
