This is a short description of my note-taking processes and my choices surrounding it. Part 1 is a philosophical tangent, part 2 is a technical setup on how to use Obsidian to take notes with IOS and PC, synced on Github, all for free!

This post aims to answer two questions: why I created this website in its present form, and how this website (and associated components) were built.

This is a list of writings I've read that I would recommend to just about anyone. Including you 🫵

Spent a semester at Mira building smart glasses, physically shipping to $1M in hardware within four months. Optimized a recording app plagued by hourly failures to run reliably in the background, dropping CPU usage by 60%. Also built infrastructure for scaling work trials and hiring.

A quick overview of who I am and how to reach me.

We built a beer pong experience where, instead of you playing beer pong, the beer pong plays you. My friends and I combined our knowledge of AR, physics, circuitry, biology, and math into a system that lets you line up the perfect beer pong trajectory, then shocks your arm with precisely the right force to sink the shot.

I spent a semester building Mixel Studios' OrchestrateXR system, something that aimed to solve the most fundamental problem behind virtual reality: sharability. We shipped a SaaS product that would allow users to jump into any VR experience built on our platform, regardless of whether they had a headset or any other 4G+ device.

I love hackathons. After doing a few, I noticed the skills pushed to their limits during a hackathon are skills frequently used outside of hackathons as well. This is a general list of pointers I'd like to offer for hackathons, with, I believe, takeaways for most group endeavors.

Good tools improve a fraction of the world, by a fraction. Orbit aims to build a tool to improve the experience of every living human, in perpetuity. Over the course of a summer, I took moonshot after moonshot and built a set of out-of-body experiences.

I grew up playing around with basic circuitry hooked up to Arduinos and Raspberry Pis. During that time, I'm surprised I only fried three different boards. You know where you can't break hardware? In virtual reality :)

Nobody alive has seen The Big City, a lost film from 1928. All known copies have faded, burned, or vanished. 100 years later, I was on the team to recreate it in a new medium, and remade an old dream with virtual cinematography and the latest in motion-capture.
