I credit climbing with single-handedly keeping me in shape. I started climbing around 2016, and never looked back. I mostly boulder indoors for that sweet combination of problem solving and physical challenge, but I occasionally hit the rocks outside as well.

Currently, my best send is a V9, though more consistently sending V7.

Vintage Tech

As with most developers, I spend a lot of my free time on hobby projects. For me, that mostly means noodling with vintage tech (like the old-fashioned website you're reading this on right now). I love playing with Pico-8 and making simple raycast 3D rendering engines, or writing simple retro game clones for my Arduboy. I really enjoy immersing myself in the history of software design, and games in particular. It's fascinating to see what you can do with the limitations of older tools (or things pretending to be older tools).

Board Games

Some current favorites:

• Hive - Feels like Chess (which I don't actually know how to play), but with very short rounds. Simple enough to learn in a few mins, complex enough to play 1000s of times.
• Mage Knight - extremely long and complex, but a truly epic way to spend an entire Saturady.
• Last Night On Earth - A rare game that finds the sweet spot where it can be enjoyed by hardcore board gamers and casual friends alike.
• Poetry for Neanderthals - Tabboo where every multisyllabic word is tabboo. An absolute riot.
• Unmatched - The only game I consistently buy expnasions for. A brawler game where each character really feels unique. Another good one for mixed-skill groups as there is a wide spectrum of complexity among heroes

Motorcycling

I currently ride an SV650X, and my car sits in the garage 300 days of the year because of it.
