Glad To Meet You!

My name is Eli I only really write in lists, so here's my deal.

  • I am a 🧑‍💻 generalist software engineer thriving in the time of AI.
  • I love to plan and 👨‍🍳 cook elaborate meals. It really activates the engineering part of my brain!
  • I have a 🤓 non-traditional computer science education. I attended a vocational school in high school, taught myself web programming, bounced around colleges for computer science while working the entire time before deciding to go pro!
  • I am a Vim Logo Vim user but I actively encourage everyone to use something else. Using Vim in 2026 is a cool bar trick.
  • I currently live in 📍 Astoria, Queens. I didn't think I would settle down in Queens and love it as much as I do, but life is like that sometimes.
  • I have a 😼 fat cat named Fonzie and I sorta have a tattoo of him on my arm.

How I'm Feeling

Seven years ago, I decided to start journaling my feelings. Being a software engineer, I made an API out of it and put it on my website. The favicon for the site the emoji for my latest entry.

I felt meh

🥩 📚 🌞
  • Today was “cycle out summer for winter” in our apartment. So we packed up all our summer stuff and I rented a U-Haul van to take the stuff to the storage unit.
  • Sadly, the storage unit had been trying to get in contact with us about some water damage in our unit that necessitated us to change units and take pictures of all the damage for insurance purposes.
  • Luckily, I had thought it cute to bring Rachel and Lydia along (Lydia in the front seat, all strapped in, Rachel rolling around with the cargo) so the amount of work was manageable, but still sucked.
  • I returned the van and had 4 beers and wings while watching football in relative silence. Not my highest point, but it was a lot of work and a lot of my clothes were ruined by mold.
  • OH AND IT WAS POURING RAIN ALL DAY!!!

Do You Code?

I have always been a full stack software engineer out of necessity. I am curious and love to dive into the deep end and help out however I can. With AI, I have been able to supercharge these attributes. No task is too big (for me to plan) or small (delegate to an agent to one-shot).

Are You A Blogger?

I'm certainly trying to be! I try to write four posts a year. Sometimes I exceed it, other times, I completely whiff. No pressure though. Below are some of my favorite posts.

What I'm Reading

I am an avid reader and here's what I've been reading. You can find me on Goodreads.

What I'm Listening To

I listen to way too much music and I love to listen to full albums. I mainly listen to hip hop, indie rock and emo. I occasionally write reviews of old albums that I love but aren't well known in a series called ICYMI.

In order to listen to more new music, I created Album Mode.party, which recommends me albums that Spotify's algorithims would never dare show me. It's the first application I have built that I use daily!
