Now
Most websites have an About page where you can learn about the background of the person or business. They have a Contact page where you can reach out. In contrast, a Now page is an up-to-date summarized snapshot of where a person is focused on, at this very moment.
What have I been up to, lately?
Updated as of February 3, 2026.
Living in Toronto (ON) in Canada with my two cats, as of July last year.
Working full-time at Google in the Developer Relations team in Google Cloud. Just passed my 5th anniversary!
After some time home not moving further than my grocery store, I’m about to go back on the road. Within the next few weeks I have trips planned to Quebec (QC), Western Europe (London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon), New York (NY), Washington (DC), San Francisco (CA), and Las Vegas (NV).
Not working quite as much on XIV ToDo. I hope to find more time soon to get back at it. I’ve also been working on-and-off on a spec-compliant IRC client, though haven’t touched it in a couple months.
Still rock climbing! It’s been over 2 years now and I’m able to reliably top virtually all 5.10x routes. I was able to top one or two 5.11x route, but that’s still a work in progress. Although I’ve been more sporadic about it since moving to Toronto.
Picked up learning Japanese again, after a long hiatus. I’m planning on writing the JLPT in July later this year, if that aligns with my travels schedule.
