Startups
I am currently working full-time on building startups, preferably bootstrapped.
- CoTherapist: a documentation assistant for clinical psychologists to turn clinical notes into assessment reports.
Side projects
- PyJamas Pillow Talk: a podcast where I speak to interesting people. Check out the episodes on Transformers as the foundational AGI architecture with John Yang, algorithmic mechanism design with Yair Zick, and building a social enterprise cafe with Lim Wei Jie.
- Crypto whitepaper threads: I wrote a series of Twitter threads on crypto and their underlying mechanism. My breakdown of LUNA/UST coincided with its collapse, while I also discussed how Circle/USDC could be the McDonald's of crypto and explained Ethereum's scaling roadmap.
Learn
I greatly enjoyed doing The Odin Project and Fast AI's Practical Deep Learning for Coders.
Think
I keep an extensive list of books that I've read, and some of my favourites (in no particular order) are:
- The Years of Lyndon Johnson series by Robert Caro
- 黑暗森林 by 劉慈欣
- Deep Work by Cal Newport
Move
I am also a strong believer that being fit is a necessary component of being a man.
I've run Starting Strength from December 2022 - June 2023.
I am currently running Tactical Barbell Operator and Black Pro after finishing Basebuilding in August 2023.
I am working on my front splits.
I also practice acroyoga weekly.
Lastly, I'll love to go on more mountaineering and surfing trips. But, a thing at a time. 🙂
