Yesterday was my last day at Stripe. Sometimes your heroes aren’t what you’d hoped. And that’s ok.

I’m super excited about my next role. More on that soon.

For now, I am off to decompress in Mallorca. 🏝 🇪🇸

How is it that bowling alley wood floors are indestructible, but wood floors anywhere else are damaged merely by looking at them the wrong way?
