Hello there! 👋🏼
My name is Damon! I'm a senior software engineer based in New York City. My current gig is at LinkedIn! Before that I was at Amazon and even before that I was at Grubhub!
I spend most of my time playing tons of board games 🎲 , reading 📚 , playing tennis 🎾 , traveling to new places 🌎 , trying new foods 🍱 , tinkering with everything 🔨 , and watching a seemingly endless amount of content 📺 .
I am currently working on...
💻
New job!
Just started at LinkedIn! Settling in and onboarding.
☺️
This site!
Working on this site in my free time just for fun and hopefully some small income to pay for my board games 😂
I am currently reading...
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness by Eric Jorgenson
This book was recommended to me by a coworker at LinkedIn. I've read the infamous tweetstorm before so thought this might be a good read also even though it wasn't written by Naval himself. Funny that I'm currently reading that as I build out this site hoping to make money out it haha! Guess it had some sort of affect on me already! 😂
I just finished reading...
The Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
I forget where I originally got the recommendation for this book but I saw the cute book cover in a bookstore somewhere in mini Chinatown in San Francisco as I was killing time before my flight back to New York. I had to pick it up since it seemed like a perfect read for the flight. The book follows Keiko Furukara, 36 year old woman that works at a conveience store as she deals with work culture and societal pressures on women. Awesome book!
Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets & Advice for Living Your Best Life by Ali Wong
Ali Wong!!! She's so damn funny. I loved her Netflix specials and I loved this book! Very cool reading about how Ali Wong started her career and nuggets of wisdom she'd want to leave for her daughters.
