Hello, Welcome to my Blog

So you've ended up in my own personal corner of the internet. Feel free to stay a while and consume the various contents I'm producing here. As you may come to realize in browsing this site, my interests are a bit broad, and sometimes I love to go off on a tangent. However, I have created this place as a location for me to work on a few key areas of my own personal and professional offerings, including:

My writing skills, creative, technical, and communicative.
My personal brand and professional portfolio.
My accountability with taking up new projects, and actually completing them!

📎

Disclaimer: there will still be many unfinished projects here for you to look at.

Obviously, it's no fun to do things just for yourself, especially publications, so in sharing my thoughts & whimsy with the wider world, I hope to accomplish the following:

Share some of my creative processes ranging from coding, cooking, problem solving, and designing.
Uplift the mood of my readers, even for a moment, because it Feels Good to Feel Good™️
Inspire others to pursue and share their own creative pursuits, in the name of fostering a more creative, more agentic, & more interesting society.

🤯

You have the power to create. Do so!

To share some of my background, I am a web developer, a chef, an event organizer, and a terrible but enthusiastic guitarist. While these things may seem somewhat disjointed or random, I have come to a conclusion as to what the driving force is behind these interests: I have a passion for creating experiences! I love to see someone open a new app and realize, it's actually a pleasure to use. I love to hear the stories of how people learned to let go & be free on the dancefloor. I love to feel the appreciation of clients tasting beautiful food which had taken such a journey to reach them.

To me, that's what life is all about, experience. And as such, I hope to curate a special experience for you, dear reader, on this very blog.

If you are a personal friend and I sent you here to check it out, thank you for making it this far. If you are a potential employer scoping my work, feel free to shoot me an email. If you just ended up here by the luck of the draw, congratulations & welcome.

See you soon,

Tao
