Here is what I have been up to as of Winter ‘26.
Fabletics is now the name of where im working, don’t worry it’s still the same company just restructured, where I am now officially a manager! Though I have the same title, I lead the tech efforts of a newly formed department integrating AI into the company infrastructure. I also still have largely the same old responsibilities administering our Kafka platform, and in charge of real-time data streaming and analytics. Growing my list of responsibilities and attempting to keep myself important!
Jen and I have decided that our life was just a bit too peaceful.. Not only did we decide to get a dog, we got a puppy at that! I must say though, he is wonderful. He is young (~5 months at the time of writing) but he’s super smart and very trainable. Looking forward about a year I think that he will be a great buddy to both of us :)
As per usual, I’m still playing hockey a few times a week. Though over the past year the sailing hasn’t been as frequent as I had hoped. Life had been getting in the way last summer, and winter is the off-season anyway. I’m hoping to get back onto the water much more this year, once the season starts!
I actually picked up my reading much more over the past year and really got into some good sci-fi books. I throughly enjoyed the Expanse series of books, but now as I have finished them, I’m looking for something new!
