What I'm Doing Now

This is a now page. Derek Sivers has inspired a growing number of “nowers” to create these. If you have your own site, you should consider adding a Now page too.

🇵🇱 Updated June 29, 2025 — from Poland!

Open Office Hours
#

I love meeting new people and helping however I can. Anyone is welcome—just note that I only speak English.

Working at DraftKings
#

I’m currently working at DraftKings, where I get to write Elixir for one of the largest online sportsbooks and casinos—two things I’m passionate about. I’m fortunate to work with some of the brightest and most supportive people in the Elixir community.

Living in Poland
#

I’ve been living in Kraków, Poland for nearly four years, and I really love it. Our apartment is modest, but the location is fantastic—we’re just a few hundred yards from a beer garden, my gym, a farmer’s market, two regular grocery stores, and a tram stop. The city center is just 20 minutes away, and cheap round-trip flights put most of Europe within easy reach.

I Built a Thing
#

I was inspired by people building useful little products, so I decided to try it myself. In about three months (and under $100), I launched Sprytna.Cards to beta. I’m not sure yet if it can become something people would pay for—but I do have some early adopters who would be genuinely disappointed if it disappeared. That feels like a good start.

Nauka języka polskiego (Learning Polish)
#

I’m finally learning to speak Polish. Progress is slow, but I’m really enjoying it. If you’re also interested in learning Polish, I highly recommend Glossa—they work with students worldwide. A special thank you to Magdalena, my wonderful teacher!

Stuff I’m Liking
#

Focus on Less
·179 words·1 min
My decision to focus on fewer things has shown me how to get much more accomplished.
Single Blade Shaving
·100 words·1 min
I really enjoy shaving again. For a few cents a blade and an affordable razor I can bypass “Big-Shave” and enjoy my morning shave again.
Regular Exercise, Normal Meals
·261 words·2 mins
I was really beginning to lose energy, not making it through a typical day without a nap. 4x a week at the gym was the answer.
