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 June 21, 2025.
Living in Waterloo (ON) in Canada, but in the middle of moving to Toronto (ON).
Working full-time at Google in the Developer Relations team in Google Cloud. I just passed my 4th workversary at the tail end of last year!
Most recent international trip was a 3-weeks vacation in Japan I did this past October, with trips to Salt Lake City (UT), Chicago (IL), Las Vegas (NV), Vancouver (BC), Edmonton (AB), Calgary (AB) and New York (NY) in 2025 so far. I don’t have any other travels planned for the rest of the summer.
Still working on my side project XIV ToDo regularly, and finally having some time to finish up my personal website revamp (you’re currently looking at it!) I’m also working on-and-off on a spec-compliant IRC client.
Still rock climbing! It’s been just about 2 years now and I’m able to reliably top most 5.10x routes. I was able to top one or two 5.11x route, but that’s still a work in progress.
Picked up learning Japanese again, after a long hiatus. Aiming to take the JLPT N4 (or N3, depending on my progress) at the end of this year.
