👋🏼 Hello

My name is Prescott.

👨🏻‍🦰 About Me

The people in my life are more important than anything else. My primary measure of wealth is the number of couches I could crash on when 💩 hits the fan.

I am a software product engineer. I love seeing how software and design can solve real problems for real people.

I have strong opinions (that I do my best to detach from). I am quite emotional and generally anxious. These feelings can be hard to deal with, but they can also be tremendous amplifiers when applied to the right signals.

I am a natural leader and derive deep satisfaction from mentoring and partnering with inspired, talented people.

I am obsessive. If something catches my interest, I will naturally engage with that activity until the point of diminishing returns.

🪨 Why Does This Site Exist

This site is a rubber duck. It allows me to think through writing.

Writing has held a loose obsession over me for most of my life, and I have found it an essential tool for resolving internal conflict. Publishing my thoughts here is, first and foremost, a tool for me to confront and answer scary questions. Secondly, by making those public, there is a chance that they will be able to help somebody else.
