  • Bluesky seems cool

    I gave up on most things “social media” years ago, resorting to just messaging friends. However, I was fascinated by the idea of Bluesky. AT Protocol seems very interesting. So does its idea of applying composable moderation and selecting an algorithm to augment your personal experience instead of deciding a one-size-first-all approach. Perhaps the best…

    I moved to WordPress

    I’ve been writing a blog since I’ve been in high-school. At first, it was fun to make websites and be part of the Internet (this was pre-Facebook). I was in love with my monochromatic colour palettes. The posts… well, they were the voice of my teenage brain — scattered and overly sassy. I continued to…

  • Happy 2023!

    Happy 2023!

    Took a short break from writing to do something different. Aside from ingesting large amounts of festive treats, I started to learn a little about developing games, especially about game engines. I started my journey with Godot open sourced game engine. Simple, easy to learn and lots of fun. I abandoned it when I realised…

  • Changing jobs

    Changing jobs

    I left my job at the end of August. It was scary to leave Expedia Group after 8 years. There were a lot of good times, growth and friendships 💌. Given the global spread of 125 makers reporting up to me, the job was challenging and stressful. In the last 8 weeks, I’ve refocused my…

  • Time for a reset

    Time for a reset

    I have been writing my Squarespace blog for about two years now. Yet, I can never achieve a consistent writing routine. Months go by without any posts. Over the Christmas break, I thought about why this was the case. While the blog represents my thoughts, they do not belong to a topic or theme. I…

  • Back from Holidays!

    I had a wonderful break away from screens, for most part. Now it’s back to business. Decided to capture my view from the couch before we took the Christmas tree down :).

  • Brief Look Back at My 2013

    There was a lot that happened in 2013. Here are some of the highlights! I learned a thing or two about Marketing Being a part-time indie developer, I am used to just focusing on the technical aspects of making apps etc. At the beginning of 2013, I figured out that this is just not going…

  • I hereby have the right to make everyone my mate! Officially an Aussie!!

    It’s time to settle somewhere. It’s been 7 years in Australia. Love the place, the people, big open roads. Great coffee, opportunities and plenty of beaches. Being an aussie was an easy decision. Now that I am one… I will be turning up for my work in wife-beater singlets and thongs (slippers). My fridge will only…
