A list of things I'm focused on at this point in my life.

Last updated: Sep 2026

• Orbit is in its refinement phase: I'm not actively adding new features right now. I'm making the existing product more robust, working through edge cases, improving onboarding, and making the flows easier to understand. I'm also tightening the design language so the whole app feels more consistent. Orbit isn't growing much at the moment, so I'm also figuring out how to distribute it and reach real users beyond the people I already talk to, without paying for ads.
• Learning about Android development: I'm mostly trying to understand the landscape before choosing a direction. I'm looking at the different ways to build and publish an Android application, and the trade-offs between them. I'm not focused on learning Kotlin, Dart, or React Native in isolation yet. Those are tools I can pick up when I have something to build. Right now, I want to understand the architectural choices first, then learn the required tools while building.
• Writing more: I've started capturing thoughts, questions, lessons, and opinions as they come up, then returning to them later and turning some of them into notes. I don't publish everything, but writing has become a useful way to process what I'm learning.
• Looking for the right opportunity: I'm not actively searching for a job, but I am open to working on an excellent product with people who care about what they're building. Getting paid is obviously part of that, but what I'm really looking for is the kind of work that's enjoyable to show up for.
• Movies are still my escape hatch: watching plenty of them, as usual, whenever I need to switch off.

Wait, what is this?

It's a concept popularized by Derek Sivers. A /now page shares what you'd tell a friend you hadn't seen for a while.
