About Me

What I'm up to

Currently upskilling in code scalability with DDIA
Adventure and adrenaline excite me: roller coasters, skydiving, cliff jumping, etc.
I like being active: running, soccer, etc.

Some things I've learned

You will never always feel incredible. Don’t over-optimize your life around feeling incredible, over-optimize your life to perform at your best no matter how you are feeling.
There’s no limit to willpower; there’s no quota for the day.
Show up for your friends, always.
Everyone is still figuring stuff out. No one has their life together, no matter how successful they are.
Single minded focus is the most powerful force in the universe.
Inspiration is fleeting, act on it immediately.
The mismatch of how difficult you expect something to be and how hard it is in actuality is the source of most of your anger and frustration.
Friendship, at its core, is mutual mentorship.
Always assume people are acting in good faith. Even if they aren’t, your perception and reaction will be more true to yourself.
