Start Here

As I create more content, I feel like it’s easier for certain things to get buried or forgotten. Likewise, I share content across this website, an email newsletter, and YouTube, so it can be hard to get a full picture of all the things I’m putting out into the world.

My solution? A “Start here” page for this website. This will be updated as necessary to keep it relevant, and will contain links to places of interest for anyone new here.

Places I publish

How I work

Every time I set up a new MacOS laptop (not often, but enough) I always tend to do the same tasks to customize my digital life. Here’s what they are.

Every year since 2012 (with a few exceptions), I’ve done a Year in Review post. You can find them here: 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2018, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012.

My Productivity

My daily TODOs and tasks are managed in a physical notebook, in a system I’ve dubbed the Daily Driver Task Management System. I started doing this sometime in 2019 and still use it daily today.

I use Obsidian as a second brain, syncing across all my devices with Obsidian Sync ($4/mo) and backing everything up to Github for free.

There’s a tour of my personal Obsidian vault on YouTube, and I’ve shared various systems both on my YouTube channel and here:

FinOps

FinOps is a relatively new engineering discipline that serves as a bridge between engineering and finance. Professionally, I’ve worked as a FinOps Practitioner at several companies and have been active in the FinOps community for many years.

I’ve also published FinOps content sharing what I’ve learned. Here are my favorites:

I’m in the process of writing a book called FinOps for Startups and I’m documenting the entire book research process in an effort to Learn in Public. You can subscribe to follow along.
