the day job
I’m currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Incubyte, and learning something new everyday It feels real good to work in an environment that values learning and sharing, obsessed with clean code, and questioning the status quo. I’m spending most of my days obsessing over code refactoring, test-driven development, pushing for shift-left mindsets in NestJS.
working on
Moving completely off big-tech. I just migrated my entire personal setup to a self-hosted Gitea and Coolify instance. It breaks sometimes, and very maddening at most times. But the learning and data control, totally worth it!
I’m also building out actual demos for my System Design Lab so I don’t just read about distributed systems all day.

- Reading: I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Sehee.
Basically a peek into someone else’s therapy sessions. Feels a littttle relatable and it does make me feel a bit too seen.
- Playing: Little Nightmares II.
So stressful, but the art and story is too good to stop. (Little Nighmares made me cry for the wrong reasons). Also, Six is a girl????? o.O
- Watching: This is Us.
The s l o o o o owest show I’ve ever watched. Sadly I have to sit through and see if this ends well. Not bad at all.

When (okay, if…) I’m completely sick of screens, I’m out taking photos of skies and nature with Gcam, or writing tasteless poetry to clear my head.
