What I'm Up to Now

40 Days of Analog

I’m not catholic (or religious really) but I enjoy practicing lent. This year I’m deleting social media off my phone, leaving the phone out of the bedroom, and doing this “40 Days of Analog” project where I use a typewriter to type daily reflections on analog things. I’m also curating 40 film photos to go along with the writings. Will share when it’s all over. I’m tired of doomscrolling so much so I’m hoping to reflect on my relationship with technology.

Building an app

A couple friends and I are building an app called Sherpa. It’s an AI-powered journal for athletes. You fill out a few prompts and get insights over time. You set an intention for practice, then reflect after on what went well, what you want to improve, and what a highlight from practice was. The app analyzes your entries and gives you insights about your journey. It’s free for iOS and you can try it out here.

Still training jiu jitsu

I’m three and a half years into my jiu jitsu journey now! Got my blue belt late last year around the three year mark. Just finished my 434th training session. Hoping to compete a few times this year, but I’ve got a neck/trap muscle tightness injury that’s causing some nerve sensitivity. Hoping to get back to 100% before competing.
