I was the guy doing frantic jumping jacks in the dark under the motion sensor lights in the Twitter office.

Whenever interview candidates asked me what my favorite thing about Twitter is, I would always answer it's the people who make it a joy to work at the company. 1/3 – at San Francisco, CA

Teams change, projects change, direction change, but I always loved the people I encounter and work with. From stressful on-call emergencies, to laughing at how we froze a laptop with poorly coded bash. Our culture felt unique as a result, but more importantly, it felt human. 2/3 – at San Francisco, CA

I'm off the rollercoaster for real this time. It has been an honor to work with the people I did for the past 7+ years. #lovewhereyouworked 🫡 3/3 – at San Francisco, CA

For fun, I tried my hand at creating a Live2D + FaceRig model. I was amazed how easy it all was with the software doing all the heavy lifting

I feel like I just drew the model. Meshes, the atlas, [etc were all automatic. Reminded me of my college days, playing around with OpenCV and matrices just to get edge detection working. It's all magic now ✨

I probably tripped my apartment unit's circuit breaker, and have to wait until tomorrow for a maintenance crew to flip it for me (there's a separate breaker room, and no one currently here has the key?) 😩

I may not have electricity in my apartment, but I do have a 50ft extension cord.

Last night I repotted my very large aloe vera, since it was getting large for its pot, and was prone to falling over in high winds.

Each time I repot it, it's a battle between how much larger the aloe has grown, vs how much more muscle I've gained to be able to move it 😅

Upgrading my office chair with rollerblade wheels was an excellent idea. Gliding from my desk to the kitchen to grab a snack is effortlessly fun
