Blog 📓
I maintain a Substack “Creating Your Reality,” about technology, productivity, self-development, and the market. Having been exposed early on in Silicon Valley with family members working as entrepreneurs, from industries in biotech, SaaS, and worked early in my career in civic engagement for Congressman Ro Khanna (Silicon Valley Congressional Representative, and his campaign chair, Steve Spinner, founder of Tech For Obama), I have a wide range of exposure to Silicon Valley’s self-made tech startup founders. As a community organizer and productivity junkie, I give my unique take on Silicon Valley, emerging tech trends and philosophies adopted by Silicon Valley tech startups.
