Work 💼

Working at the NASA Safety Center, part of the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance. My big focus recently has been product strategy for a new root cause analysis software we are building from scratch. I’ve also been making our safety-related data more accessible for analysis, defining how we will leverage Microsoft Power Platform, and improving our dev team’s technical capabilities.

Family 👨‍👩‍👧

My daughter is 5 months old now. I’m taking every opportunity I get to play on the floor with her and laugh together. My wife and I are getting back into a regular date-night routine.

Faith ⛪

Attending a weekly bible study at my church with my wife and our close friends. That group had no babies when we joined 2 years ago, and by next year there will be 14 babies/kids 😯

Projects 💻

Working on this personal website. I’ve missed having coding as a regular part of my day, so I’m tinkering on this site to remedy that.

Journaling 🖋

I’ve always journaled in some capacity, but I’ve really gotten back into it recently. I’m bullet journaling daily, partially to track personal to-dos, partially to log what is happening each day, but mostly to force myself to review what is happening each month and each day. The slowness of the practice helps me retain my schedule better in my brain. I’m also doing morning pages most mornings to declutter my mind at the start of each day. As part of this renewed interest in journaling, I’ve gotten back into fountain pens. Right now, I’m using a Lamy Safari with Diamine Red Dragon ink.

Health 💪

Working on eating smaller portion sizes and wishing I worked out more 😂 I’ve been doing random sets of pushups every now and then, but I plan to start following the Recommended Routine from Reddit’s Bodyweight Fitness Community
