This /now page lists what I've been doing recently. (As of June 2025).
Learning
In August 2024, I completed a Master's in Health Informatics. While my education up to now has been in healthcare, I've always loved technology. I often find myself trying to learn how to code or play with new technology, so I figured I may as well make it formal. I'm now working on filling in the gaps with additional skills and certifications.
Courses
I'm a perpetual digital hoarder of online courses. Here are a few I've been working on or completed recently:
- Google Cloud Data Analytics Professional Certificate (Coursera)
- Introduction to Bash Scripting
- Data Manipulation with
pandas - OpenMRS Fundamentals
- Inside the Show

Digital publishing & audiobook narration
I've helped a few colleagues and friends publish memoirs and books to the Kindle store.
I've narrated a couple chapters of an audiobook for LibriVox and hope to record a full book for a family member.
Projects
Reading
I try to read 52 books a year, but usually fall well short of that, sometimes because I have small kids that make me tired, but mostly because I keep starting a new book before I'm finished with the current one!
I am often in the middle of one physical book, a few ebooks, and an audiobook.
Movement
Finally got back into working out at a 24-hour Fitness near me.
Also running and cycling, though not nearly as often as I'd like to.
