About

I make simple, focused, and beautiful things that make people happy.

Me

I am excited by simple, elegant and beautiful things. I'm particularly fond of food, music, stereos, clothing, furniture and software, and am very aware of what I consume, own and use.

Food

Everyone spends so much time eating — why not enjoy it? I don't eat food I'm not excited about.

I love cooking food for friends, family and myself. It's a nice contrast to writing software because it produces a physical product that you get to enjoy with others. You can see pictures of my cooking on Instagram.

Some of my favorite meals have been at Pujol, L'Abattoir, Nicli Antica, Paulie Gee's, Sushi Nakawaza, momofuku, Cosme, Contra, Sweet Chick and Eleven Madison Park.

Music

I listen to a lot of music, all the time, all different kinds. Good music deserves good speakers, and good headphones. There is something special about both vinyl and Spotify.

I'm always looking for new music, so I made Amplitude to help me find it, Rediscover to assure I discover it and riley.audio to remember it.
