I've started a new company: Superlogical .
I authored 1 the announcement post on the Superlogical homepage , which describes the problem statement and what we're building. 2 Read that to learn more. This post is more of a personal statement about what led to this, how it relates to my recent work, and what comes next.
In 2023, after 11 years, I left the company I previously founded .
Since then, my primary focus has been being a mostly full-time dad. I became involved with a lot of philanthropy . 3 I wrote a lot on technical topics, sharing as much as I had the time and energy for.
But I never stopped building. Building software is my personal passion, and I continued to learn and build a little every day just for the love of it.
