👋 I write
programs, prose, and poetry.

A systems thinker with a mystical bend, I explore unexpected interconnections.Check out my software projects, essays, and poetry book.A random list of things I love: ☕ī¸ hot chai, 💎 Ruby programming, ⛰ī¸ mountain air, 🍛 nasi lemak, 📔 poems in a journal, ✈ī¸ writing on plane rides.This website is an evolving home to a couple links, and a now page, which I update regularly with what's going on.

A few things I believe

  • Everything is Interconnected.

  • Never bet against text.

  • Software is modern magic. An invocation within a terminal can change the quality of someone's day.

  • Reading forms a deeper awareness of the people, products, and world around us. Indeed, it forms a deeper awareness of ourselves.

With so much travel, there have been lots of ideas. But in the flux, it's been hard to write anything legible.
