Hello Mirror 👋 I’m Anish, a software engineer @ Ramp, the fastest growing corporate credit card in the US. I graduated from the University of Michigan last year and was born & raised in Columbus, Ohio (for those who are aware of the rivalry — I was a diehard Buckeye for 18 years but after attending Michigan there’s no going back). After 21 years in the Midwest, I’ve relocated to New York City for the time being. It’s very very cold right now 🥶

I hike! @ Great Smoky Mountains

I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a while now..and I’ve been dabbling in web3. So starting the blog on a decentralized platform seemed like a great way to combine those two interests of mine!

I haven’t really ever written publicly on a consistent basis, but here’s a few ideas I’m thinking about writing about:

*   My career! Learnings about technology and scaling @ a hyper growth startup
    
*   Web3 👀 I’m working on a project to get involved and super excited to share what I learn throughout the journey (it’s still day 0)
    
*   Life in NY! The _greatest city on the planet_™️
    
*   Productivity tips / life hacks / mental health & mindfulness
    
*   Books / films / shows I love (or hate)
    

I figure this blog will find a more defined purpose as I figure out what I enjoy writing about and what you all enjoy reading about. Stay tuned!
