Favorite Things

Here's a rotating list of things I love—some personal, some nerdy, some nostalgic. All 100% me.

Food🦪

Whole-Bellied Fried Clams

Briny, creamy, and grease-kissed—just the way fried seafood should be.

Wine Region🍷

Alsace

The land of Riesling dreams. Where the wines are bright, aromatic, and criminally underrated.

Book (Modern)📚

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

A sprawling, aching coming-of-age story I still think about years later.

AI Use Case🐍

Writing Python to Analyze Huge Files

No more Excel crashes. AI + code = sanity preserved.

Bird🐦‍⬛

Crows

Smart, weird, and obsessed with shiny things. My favorite bird by a mile.

Classical Text📜

The Odyssey

The ultimate story about finding your way home. Plus, Odysseus basically invented the product pivot.

Productivity Tool

Notion

The Swiss Army knife of productivity apps. Messy, powerful, and somehow exactly what I need.

Music🎧

Radiohead

Haunting melodies, glitchy textures, and the sense that you're feeling something true and indescribable. Peak sonic catharsis.

Season🍂

Early Fall in New England

Crisp air, changing leaves, and the feeling that anything is possible. Peak cozy energy.
