Building software, lifting heavy things.
I'm Jack. I like building things, and I like building my body. Most of my time goes into Strive, a sports tech project. Stoata, my Pokémon TCG shop, runs in the background for fun.
Lifting came through football in middle school and stuck. These days it's push/pull with weekend sprints and the occasional run. Coding started earlier; I taught myself with small games around age ten and eventually studied CS at RPI. Strive is where those two threads finally meet.
As a kid I always wanted to design a new generation of sports equipment, or be a wildlife photographer (or as I used to write it, an animal photorafer). Both are still on the table. (If you don't believe me.)
This site is mostly just some of my thoughts. The RSS feed is the best way to follow along.
