About This Video

This week-in-the-life vlog is basically me trying to function on a Monday morning while dealing with a genuinely brutal engineering problem. I’ve been in my job about a year and a half, and for the last eight months I’ve been heads-down building a mobile app for my company. The timing was perfect… until right as I’m about to ship it live, I realize there’s a critical update needed that changes how data flows through the app and how routing works. So yeah—three hours of “f my life,” followed by the reality of having to restructure an already working app. Alongside the dev chaos, I also talk about content creation becoming a real second job for me. I started posting in July 2023, landed my first brand deal about four months later, and it’s grown into a big part of my professional life. I don’t take it too seriously, but it’s a creative outlet I didn’t realize I was missing—and if you’re in tech, I genuinely think you should try making content because you don’t know what doors it opens. I also share the stuff that keeps me sane: daily meditation (I’ve done it consistently for six years), taking problems step-by-step, and accepting that imposter syndrome doesn’t go away—you just get better at being uncomfortable and solving what you don’t know.
