I spend most of my days working on healing myself with time in nature, and I'm developing a personal photography project connected to my natural surroundings. I also spend time working on my garden when weather permits and am learning to paint and draw when the weather is gloomy. All in all that keeps my days pretty packed and active, not even thinking about tech most days whereas before it was all consuming.

The majority of my career in tech was at Mozilla, followed by a relatively brief stint at Element. I'm lucky that I was able to spend my entire career working for companies whose missions and products I still champion. But even as good and well intentioned as they are, they cannot escape so-called "Silicon Valley" as they're very much a part of it.
