What I’m Doing Right Now

Last updated Wednesday, March 11, 2026 from my home in Wisconsin..

Recently

I got promoted to Staff Software Engineer at Zendesk!

I’m spending lots of time exploring how AI is impacting software development and deployments.

Projects

• Building Olima and Olipods.
• oliver - a jekyll theme - a new design for my personal website.

Reading

I often find myself reading too many books at once.

I am calling 2026 the “Year of the Chunky Book” since many of the books I want to read this year are…rather enormous.

Currently Reading

• The Count of Monte Cristo (Robin Buss translation)
• This Inevitable Ruin

On-deck

See my my profile on StoryGraph or Goodreads.

Note: I set up a StoryGraph account at the beginning of the year - tentatively planning on switching to that from Goodreads, but I am updating both for now.

Books I read this year

January

• The Butcher’s Masquerade
• Blood Meridian
• Legends & Lattes
• The Giver
• The Anxious Generation

February

• The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Playing

• Stardew Valley

Watching

• College basketball (March Madness is almost here!)
