Mish

Hi, I'm Mish.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

I build applied AI systems at Pressbox, write about the places I've been, and try to make sense of the rest. Currently based in San Francisco, often elsewhere.

Building product at Pressbox — building software in the AI age.

Traveling less this quarter, focused on writing more. Planning more excursions into the California wilderness — mountaineering, exploring, more time outdoors.
