Here’s what I’m doing now.

Full-Time Job

I recently left my job to pursue my more amateur interests. It’s still novel, so I don’t really know how to put labels on the things that I do now (or whether I should).

I now work at Eternis.ai where we are building the infrastructure for democratized, decentralized, and self-owned intelligence.

Broadly, this is what I did during my otium:

TimeProject
December - JanuaryHelped organize a film festival.
FebruaryHelped organize a photo exhibition.
February - MarchConsultant with our local government to work on long-term projects.
MarchExperimented with interactive articles.
AprilStarted working on MCP-related stuff and released Sandbox MCP.
MayJoined as a maintainer of MCP Go SDK.
JuneFried my MacBook. On the verge of becoming a reclusive Arch Linux hermit.

Previously, I worked on open source projects in the cloud native space. I have traveled a lot to speak at conferences and meet customers.

Blog and Newsletter

I write on this blog about my work and my other projects. I also send occasional newsletters to a couple of hundred people.

I don’t plan to work on these full-time or scale and monetize them, at least for now.

Reading

I'm currently reading Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson, and The Art of Doing Science and Engineering by Richard W Hamming.

See more in The Bookshelf.

Side Projects and Hobbies

It’s challenging to maintain hobbies right now due to the intensity of my work. But the work feels like play, and I end up spending most of my time on it anyway.

Many of my hobbies, like playing my bass guitar, have decreased significantly. I plan to spend more time on my hobbies after a few months.
