- lifting
6 days a week, push/pull/legs — chasing PRs, tracking every macro.
- gaming
apex legends is the main one — plat 2, maining wattson and alter. valorant enough that I built a stat tracker for it, and enough fps generally that I ended up writing my own barebones shooter to see how the genre works from the inside.
- building projects
mostly low-level things, to find out what the abstraction is hiding — a memory allocator instead of malloc, a virtual machine instead of an interpreter, a raytracer and a software rasterizer instead of a graphics api. plus a distributed key-value store running raft, and an hft matching engine built for latency. a habit-tracking app with a friend of 15 years is still in use.
- apollo
the lyre, the sun, and why he's the idol — the myth behind the handle.
