Now

Updated June 2026

Austin, TX

This is a /now page — what I’m focused on right this month. Inspired by Derek Sivers’s convention. Updated every 1–2 months; if it’s stale, ping me.

Work

  • Building out SonarSource’s GTM data models — currently focused on the semantic layer, standardizing on the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI).
  • Taking select consulting work — data pipelines + data modeling, governance cleanup, BI cost reduction.
  • Trying to cut through the AI-revolution noise and figure out how to actually use it — I’m convinced it’s the future, and a little worried about whether I still have a role in it.

Building

  • This site. Rebuilt from scratch on Rails 8 + Hotwire. See /colophon.
  • College Football Alum, a passion project — hoping to ship it by August.

Learning

  • The Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) standard — declarative YAML for metrics, dimensions, and joins, shared across tools.
  • Designing Data-Intensive Applications (re-read, slowly).
  • Postgres logical replication and the trade-offs vs. trigger-based CDC.
  • Domain Driven Design and how to convince people it’s a good idea.

Training

  • Phase: deep in the cut. Down 20 lbs off the 310 bulk — the Mr. Incredible silhouette is finally receding. Holding it through August.
  • 5 lifting days, 1 HIIT, 1 active-recovery / refeed. Schedule on /health.
  • Goal next: Sub 10% body fat and 270lbs by fall
