Now

Last updated in April 2024, from New York City

Inspired by Derek Siver’s Now Project, this page describes what I’m working on now:

  1. Working at Stitch Fix as a data scientist
  2. Migrating this site from WordPress to a statically generated site
  3. Hosting regular Nick Cage movie nights, where the movie is typically chosen by RNG
  4. Hosting pizza beta test nights, where I share my experiments with different pizza styles and techniques with a hungry crowd (see my pizza Instagram!)
  5. Practicing my latte art and espresso pulls with my home machine, intending to reach barista-level art and espresso (if not their speed at cranking them out)
  6. Working my way back to a Wilks score/coefficient of 300+ after recovering from an injury
  7. Visiting four national parks in 2024
  8. Working on my chess, to surpass my peak 1952 US Chess Federation Elo rating I got back when I was a teenager before I quit playing
  9. Studying various ML topics, in particular LLMs
  10. Writing a new essay or blog post roughly every two months (quite a bit behind on this one!)
  11. Reading a new book roughly once a month — most recently I finished The Expectation Effect
