welcome

hi, i’m Joey, and i’m a 29 year old developer based out of Washington State, USA

engineers are at their best when they understand complexity in depth. Artists are at their best when the depth of their process defies understanding. But the same skills that make an engineer great can hinder the abilities of an artist, and vice versa

i’ve setup this digital garden as a generalist playground so i can learn to integrate both skillsets into my portfolio. I don’t write many technical notes here. But, this isn’t just a personal website or blog either. It’s more of a personal wiki of thoughts that i’m reflecting and refining upon from all the things i’ve experienced. You can learn more about how i’ve set this up here

 

many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after —Henry David Thoreau

i think of this as my proof of stake in the human experience. If all the heavy lifting is done by AI in the future, what else can we leave the world with?  

the recent notes pane is the best way to see what I’m working on. Or you can click on links in the notes themselves. Notes are also tagged so i can navigate my own work better and see connecting patterns

  • the structure of each note is hashed as an essay, list, or freeform
  • the formality of each note is either personal, reflection, outline, documentation, or ditty depending on how serious or personal I consider it
  • i write about lots of subjects. Sometimes, several at the same time, including humans, tech, culture, creation, survival, business, maturity, and dhamma (AKA: “spirituality“). I’m absolutely not an expert in any of these domains, i’m just obsessively learning about them. I’ve indexed a lot of my favorite ideas in nuggets of wisdom

work

  • TODO (✨🌈funemployed🌈✨)
  • previously worked two technical internships
  • was a restaurant server and bartender for 6 years
  • going way back… i used to lifeguard (I know CPR)
  • resume

your thoughts don’t define you. All my writings here are just a snapshot of who i am

~Joey
