Life
Left New Orleans and headed to NYC to… start work as director of mobile engineering at Ride. Been a busy week with that, but I got to catch up with some of my friends here, which is great.
Work
First week of a new job so… completely overwhelming. I’m really excited about the team and what I’m doing though, and I’ll be heading to Colombia in January.
Media
Reading High Output Management, such an illuminating and educational book! I am learning so much from it.
