What I'm Doing Now

Last updated April 2026

Reading & Learning

  • Revisiting old software essays to see what still holds true today;
  • Kleppmann's book is dense, but it's been useful for clarifying how I think about data and system design;
  • Learning a bit of Rust and seeing if it clicks for backend tasks;

Building & Writing

  • Sketching out ideas for small, composable dashboard components, things that are useful but light;
  • Thinking about a few projects around Apple Music and playlist curation;

Outside the Laptop

  • πŸƒ Walking more, now that spring is reaching Bucharest and the weather is pleasant;
  • Thrifting for records and remembering how much junk you have to sift through for one good find;
  • Getting back into cooking;
  • Trying to spend less time scrolling, more time making or reading;

Inspired by the Now Page movement, a simple, human idea worth sharing.
