Inspired by Derek Sivers. What I'm working on, at this moment.

→Principal engineering at Indeed. Fourth year.
→Writing essays at a monthly-ish cadence. Most recent: The Algorithmic Gaze.
→Building this site — groshin.com — as a canonical surface for the work.
→Reading: more than I should admit. Writing: less than I should.
→Based in Seattle. Mostly.
