2026 Goals

2026 will be preparation for the next decade, investing in the fundamentals of family, friends, health, and keeping professionally relevant. AI will likely continue to transform industries beyond coding so I’ll aim to remain balanced and open to change, both the good, bad, and completely unexpected.

For that which I do have control over, in 2026 I’d like to…

• Work with my parents re care
• Pick back up pick up basketball
• Organize Bay Area socials
• Love Caitria O’Neill madly

• Consistent sleep
• Improve Garmin VO2max to 52
• Benchpress 4x 205lbs, squat 4x 275lbs
• Regular mindfulness and therapy

Studies

• Pynchon year 3, mixing in The Crying of Lot 49
• Bruno Latour and modernism

Finances
