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 December 2, 2025.
Living in Toronto (ON) in Canada, as of early July.
Working full-time at Google in the Developer Relations team in Google Cloud. Just passed my 5th anniversary!
Spent the past few months more on the road than at home. For the most part, work opportunities brought me to the 4 corners of North America, covering 11 cities in 11 provinces and states.
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 that I hope to “finish” by the end of the year.
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.
The winter holidays are near, and though I typically spend that time visiting my family, this year I’ll be spending two weeks at the comfort of my home, relaxing and working on side projects.
Picked up learning Japanese again, after a long hiatus. I’m taking the JLPT N4 in mid-December.
