Hey, I'm Nick. 👋

I'm currently a senior software engineer at Shopify. I'm also a dad, husband, rock climber, and all-around avid learner. We live in Berlin, Germany and are originally from Singapore.

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.

If you like what you read, then I highly recommend subscribing to my newsletter (or bookmarking its substack page) because I'm publishing new posts exclusively through the newsletter starting April 2022.

For an introduction to the stuff I write about, I recommend browsing this blog by topic. There is also a growing archive of free newsletter posts that may be interesting.

Thanks for reading!
