Moved to Seattle, started at Microsoft
Rain seven months a year and Mount Rainier appearing out of nowhere on the clear days, which is a fair trade. Also where my taste in flannel quietly became sincere.

I build Android apps at Microsoft, and Orbit in the evenings. I grew up on an island in the Indian Ocean and I still cook like it.
Everything below is dated, newest first — work, Orbit, tennis, the occasional thing I wrote. One list, because that’s the order it actually happened in.
nobody’s life has separate tabs for “work” and “personal”
journey is the places I’ve lived + little anecdotes about them
I own four. sincerely.
Graduated Clark
4 years of epic memories, made friends who will last me a lifetime (and more importantly will let me stay at their place for free when I travel), great student activities to be part of, and learning the various skills that are not related to work or building things
Yay no homework to be done anymore
Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts
Left the island at eighteen for a university I had never seen. Four years of computer science, four years of varsity swimming, one real coat. Worcester is where I went from someone who codes to a software engineer, and I can't point at the week it happened.
Vacoas-Phoenix, Mauritius
Sugarcane, sleeping volcanoes, and three languages in one sentence. Non-negotiable formative event.
the list ends where I started.
felt right.
