Now

I’m at home in Dayton Ohio. The year is flying by.

At Work

I’m into my 2nd year working at ClassDojo and it’s incredible how much the industry and my team have changed over the year. I always knew that webdev was an industry where I’d need to keep adapting and stay on my toes, and the advent of coding AIs have pushed that to the max. I’m grateful to work at a place that is investing in the technology, and in us engineers, giving us space to learn how to work effectively in this new world.

At Home

I’m still lifting weights, but instead of continuing to push my bench press max, I’ve decided to try out squats and deadlifts, something I’ve never done before. I’m in that awkward beginning stage where I’m lifting unimpressive amounts, just trying to get comfortable and more confident in my form. Long term, I want to keep track of my Bench + Squat + Deadlift max, and see how high I can get that. Currently it’s about 700lbs, but some people try to increase it enough to join the 1000 lb club. For now, I’m just trying to have fun.

We’re almost done with a big project replacing our roof and I’m hopeful that it’ll resolve a bunch of little issues that have been bothering us. This is the third major house project in the last year, and once it’s done I’m hoping the universe will give me and my wallet a break for a while.
