Roughly two weeks ago, my wife and I welcomed our first child into our family. We’re so excited that he’s finally here! Even if it does mean very little sleep…

Here is a photo! I’ve redacted some parts for his privacy, though.

So… I guess we’re doing this! 😁 #LeadDevNewYork #a11y
A year and a half, two orthopedists, two six-week stints being non-weight bearing in a cast, a corrective ankle surgery, and several months of 7am physical therapy later… I’ve been cleared to begin dancing again! #LindyHop
Interviewing is hard for everyone, but it’s especially hard to navigate if you’re #ActuallyAutistic. Not only is it an additional barrier to employment, the company loses out on potentially great employees. This is why it’s important to design interviews with a diverse range of neurotypes in mind.
I had no idea my oven was this sassy. 😂
Meeting Jon Taffer was not on my “Week at the Cape” bingo card, but it was still a really cool experience! I’m more of a Scotch and Irish Whisky drinker, but I’m excited to try this out. 🥃
Ooh. A message from my new prison pen pal!
It has been far too long since I’ve pimped my last waffle. Terrible hotel, great waffle. BRB while I book another trip to Berlin. 🤤

Post-surgery ankle x-ray from two weeks ago.

Looks like I’m totally screwed…

One step closer to being ready for my ankle surgery on Wednesday! Who knew you could rent a stair lift? 🤷🏼‍♂️ #a11y
