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, and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

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.
