feels like there are two interesting directions I'd like to take work: - reducing the insurance gap (# people uninsured from natural disasters) by building new risk transfer products and ways to manage risk - joining an insurance company which is very AI forward and seeing how much we can automate

it's hit winter in Australia which means I'm on that vitamin D and zinc lozenge grind

one thing bluesky had at one point (I think) that was near was a little plus icon in the corner of a pfp if you didn't follow the person. like a gentle invite to consider following them.
