Harold Treen • Now

I’m still working on Design tools 🎨. Our teams work was featured at Figma Config.
I was cast on an Improv Team at the Magnet Theater. We completed our first season and got renewed for a second 🎉. The team is “Dreamboat” and we’re performing every Wednesday.
I’ve been getting deeper into coffee. I travelled to Portland in April for the SCA Expo and volunteered for 3 days. I also upgraded my espresso setup with a Decent DE1 PRo.
I’ve been search of new dance communities and begun some volunteering with What The Float.
I’ve been getting back into the gym routine and have a goal of joining the 1000lb club (Squat 1RM + Bench 1RM + Deadlift 1RM >= 1000lbs). I’m currently in the ~782lb club (186lb + 219lb + 377lb).

I am now working at Facebook on the Design Tools team 🎉. We build tooling to help engineers and designers create higher quality products.
I got a chapter published in an O’Reilly book! You can read all my thoughts on “Building An SLO Culture” in Chapter 13 of Implementing Service Level Objectives.
I moved into my own apartment - first time not living the roommate life.
I’ve been leveling up my coffee. Invested in a nice little espresso + pour over setup and making coffee every day ☕️.
Having my own space has created more opportunities to decorate. Bought a massive bird of paradise and some other plants to lighten up the space.
I got vaccinated against COVID-19 💉. Excited to see normality on the horizon 🌅.

I just bought a new 16” Macbook Pro and excited to work on a machine that isn’t 7 years old.
I’ve been ad-hoc facilitating for a Mindfulness and Improv group.
I’m living in Fort Green and enjoying the Brownstone life.
I switch from Internal Products to the Customer Operations Engineering team at Squarespace. Building all things customer support related.
I’ve been going to the gym for the last 7 months and have added 30lbs of body.
I’m slowing down even more and trying to figure what all the living in the present stuff means.

I’m still working at Squarespace in New York (and it’s still great 👍).
I’m still living in the same apartment.
I’m in the middle of Team Performance Workshop @ The Magnet Theater. It’s the final class in Magnet’s improv curriculum. Next week will be my first of 8 shows on the main stage.
I’ve been simultaneously mentoring a level 1 improv class. They are a super bunch and our class show is Friday!
I’ve been going to a bunch of dance parties such as The Get Down and Daybreaker (and I even volunteer for Daybreaker!).
I’m still exploring all the activities New York has to offer and recently discovered The Joy List as an awesome source of events. The most recent one I tried was Skip The Small Talk.
At the same time I’m trying to slow down a bit. I have the tendency to try and do everything, but recently I’ve been feeling spread thin. Looking to find more depth with the things I’m already involved in rather than constantly chasing new experiences.

I’m working at Squarespace in New York (and it’s great 👍).
I’m living in Brooklyn with some awesome people from the Recurse Center 🖥.
Trying to balance exploring side interests, discovering the city and ramping up on work.

I’ve moved to New York for the next 3 months! 🗽
Living at FounderHouse.
Coding at the Recurse Center. It’s amazing.
- Learning Haskell.
- Adding features to EpubPress.
- Building random things.
- Pairing with others and sharing knowledge.
So basically sitting in one spot, coding a storm and surrounding myself with awesome people 🌟.

Just arrived in Cusco, Peru. Will be settling down here until I fly back to Vancouver at the end of the month.
Making plans to climb Machu Picchu.
