DIGITAL GARDEN 🐛
This is my digital garden, a space where I'm trying to work through ideas, capture notes, and think out loud. It's not a blog with polished posts. It's messier than that, more honest. This is me learning in public (hopefully).
You'll find everything here from half-formed thoughts (seedlings) to ideas I'm actively wrestling with (growing) to concepts I've spent real time developing (evergreen). Plus a steady stream of TILs—those small discoveries that keep things fun.
Nothing here is precious. Everything is a work in progress. Wander around, follow the connections, watch how ideas shift over time. If you're curious about what a digital garden is meant to be, Maggie Appleton explains it well 🌼 .

Three Months at Handshake!
After three months at Handshake, I learned that sometimes the most valuable career experiences are the ones that clarify what you don't want. Despite making great friends and working with talented early career engineers, I discovered that being on a growth team wasn't for me – I'm a thoughtful, document-everything kind of engineer, not a move-fast type. With the mismatch in work styles it became clear this wasn't the right fit. This post reflects on what worked, what didn't, and the lessons I'm taking forward about vetting opportunities and knowing your own work style.
