Hey, I'm Nick. π
I'm a dad, husband, rock climber, and all-around avid learner. I currently live in Berlin, Germany π©πͺ and am originally from Singapore πΈπ¬.
I'm also currently a senior software engineer at Shopify. Update: I am currently looking for my next role and as of early May 2023, am actively interviewing. Read what my coworkers and students say about me.
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 reading stuff on this blog, then I highly recommend subscribing to my newsletter because I've been publishing new posts exclusively there since April 2022:
For a structured walk around this place, browse by topic. Also head over to the growing newsletter archive for the latest posts (some paywalled).
Thanks for reading!
