Hi, I'm Reese.
At the end of 2024, I left my full-time job to wander around the world, and I’ve been dedicating much of that newfound free time to writing about my interests: travel, meditation, and books of all kinds.
On the professional front, I’ve worn many different hats, mostly recently as a software engineer at Stripe – some of my work there has also been announced publicly if you’re interested in the details. I’ve also worked as a professional classical musician and served on the Board of Directors for an arts nonprofit. I also still hack on side projects and help maintain some open source projects over on Github.
Questions? Complaints? Exclamations of mirth and merriment? Feel free to reach out to me: me@reesew.com
