I've worked @slackhq since 2016. You've probably used many things I've written. I am both humbled and sorry about that.
I'm privileged enough to travel as a hobby, where I get to shoot photographs that I like to make. I am not a professional.
I've written a novel and a poetry chapbook. No, you can't read them, but you're welcome to read shit here and on twitter.
In all seriousness, I'm probably more scared of you than you are of me. You can thank my parents for that life-long quirk.
I have lost
the summer,
the yellow sun,
the red flesh chest
and droplets of salt water that ran down my neck
and soaked my lips
and pulled the moisture out.
I have lost
the exhaustion that comes to
the body after days spent on
the beach, digging sand tombs
and building castles, BBQs
and weed, talks over fire about you, and me,
and those two years when we
were something, something, something.
I have lost the promised sleep
I thought would come the moment
I broke away, the promised beginning
I promised myself and well, no,
it never came.
I don’t sleep as good
as the good sleep.
I've been a software engineer since 2003, specializing in the frontend. I currently work remotely for Slack in Santa Barbara, California.
