Now

I write this as I’m sitting at IAH, an international airport in Houston, TX; today I’m traveling back home to New York after a 2.5 week long trip down here where I started up in Plano attending the Commit Your Code Conference where it was great to catch up with old friends and make new ones!

After that I drove down to Austin to attend a race at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) with a group of friends. From there I stayed in Austin a few days longer and did some apartment shopping. I have my top picks and am excited to apply and eventually move down there this year.

I had one more stop in my Texas tour and that was driving to Houston where I stayed with friends for 1.5 weeks. It was a great time to relax, catch up, and spend time with them and my nephew.

But I’m ready to get home and recharge. This quarter promises to be a busy one at work and I want to move by the end of the year 😅

I just returned from my first company offsite which took place in Portland, OR. It was a long week but great to meet everyone in-person and get to know everyone better.

During February, I plan to continue my focus on my mental and physical health including returning to the gym which I'm excited for. I'm also focusing a lot on my finances this year to prepare to move into a new apartment next year. The plans are made, now it's up to me to execute.

I'm also excited for a handful of projects I'm working on, one of which is a personal dashboard I can use to track various things like my social following, habits, to-dos, and more. Think of it like a one-stop-shop for myself.

More on that will be shared in the near-ish future on my X/Twitter.

Focusing on both my mental and physical health, giving it all at my job, and moving into a new apartment next year. I'm setting up the systems now to help me stay on track and meet my goals.
