đ I write
programs, prose, and poetry.
A systems thinker with a mystical bend, I explore unexpected interconnections.A random list of things I love: âī¸ hot chai, đ Ruby programming, â°ī¸ mountain air, đ nasi lemak, đ poems in a journal, âī¸ writing on plane rides.This website is home to a couple links, and a now page, which I update regularly with what's going on.
A few things I believe
Everything is Interconnected.
Never bet against text.
Software is modern magic. An invocation within a terminal can change the quality of someone's day.
Reading forms a deeper awareness of the people, products, and world around us. Indeed, it forms a deeper awareness of ourselves.
