Hi there 👋

Me (left) and my dog Oliver (right) enjoying a chilly day at Pigeon Point Beach on the coast of Northern California.

I'm Chris — welcome to my humble corner of the world wide web.

By day, I’m a Product Engineer at Ghost, contributing improvements to the open-source platform this very site is built with.

In the evenings, you can usually catch me at my home in San Jose, California watching some TV, hyper-fixating on one of my latest obsessions (e.g. Obsidian, Home Assistant, or iOS Shortcuts), or registering a domain name for a side-project I'll never finish.

I plan to keep this site very informal (think more Twitter (RIP) than LinkedIn). I may write about just about anything, including random personal updates, recommendations for products I've recently discovered, deep dives or guides into some of my hyper-fixations, thoughts about new technologies I'm learning about, pictures of my dog, or pretty much anything else — no holds barred.

I may send an occasional newsletter, but mostly this is site is just a Plain Old Blog™. That said, I'm always hungry for new ideas and feedback — if you feel so inclined, please feel free to subscribe and comment.

If you want to get in touch with me on social media, you can find my profiles here, or reach out via email: hello [at] chrisraible.com.
