    My job search is over. In a few weeks, I’ll be joining the OS team at @CashApp, and I can’t wait. Taking 6 months out has been so good for my mental health. I know I am privileged to be able to do that, but I was feeling burnt out. The time out has helped immensely 🧘‍♂️

    After about 12 months of hacking, refactoring and migrating everything to @kotlin and Compose Multiplatform, I've finally got tivi.app running on iOS. There's a *lot* which is broken and needs to be fixed, but this app is 100% @kotlin 🤯 #ComposeMultiplatform

    Finally back home after #io19 and vacation. Was a great trip, speaking on the Shoreline Amphitheatre and seeing everyone from around the world 🗺️. Oh, I also upgraded my relationship to the higher-tier fiancé plan 💍😆
