Hey, I'm Nick. 👋

I'm a dad, husband, rock climber, and all-around avid learner. I currently live in Düsseldorf, Germany 🇩🇪 and am originally from Singapore 🇸🇬.

I currently work at topi as a software engineer where I'm helping to build a Device as a Service (DaaS) product.

I write and publish regularly my learnings on living a calm, joyful life through consistent and kind introspection that I make public as dispatches to my newsletter subscribers.

The most active part of me is the writer. And as a writer, I can't bear the thought of scattering my writing all over the internet. So, here they are, in one place. Despite being a less discoverable place, it is a more durable place. Like a home should be.

For a structured walk around this place, browse by topic.

Thanks for reading!
