Now
What’s happening right now, as of April 19th, 2025.
In a nutshell, I am:
- working
- practicing martial arts
- reading
Work
I’ve been working in Glia for almost 5 years now. It’s my longest tenure in my career to date. After a stint in management, I got back to being an individual contributor and I’m almost at my happiest.
Sports
Since last December, I enrolled in a martial arts school. I’m practicing Hokutoryu, the Finnish variation of jiu-jitsu. I’m loving it! So many things had to align for this to happen, but they finally did, and I’m happy they did. My back still troubles me, but I feel it’s getting stronger.
Books
I’ve got back to the least social of the book tracking platforms, LibraryThing. I’ve created a new account and am noting down what I read. You can find the result here.
Me
This is a picture of me from a couple of summers ago, taken by my friend Sergei in our office:
One of my jobs this year is to get a new one.
