NOW

FAMILY

Raising two amazing kids. Navigating the beginning of second grade for Zeke and a new school for Judi — after finally taming the school calendar chaos, we built a weekly briefing to keep us on top of it. Planning activities through the end of the year, including trips to Syracuse and Atlanta. And a few reflections on 7 things I've learned in 7 years of fatherhood.

HOBBIES

Photography, using more AI in my daily life, trying hard to get back into fitness/running (rebuilding my motivation, slowly), and always building Lego.

WORK

I'm an Engineering Manager at Business Insider, focused on user engagement and newsroom tools.

SIDE HUSTLE

Building a photography business — sessions.reubeningber.com — and the brand on Instagram, @photosessionswithreuben. Finished my test shoots and now figuring out some social/local advertising.

LEARNING

Continuing to go deep on AI, focused on improving how it helps me at work and, more importantly, how it can make life and family management easier — most recently by no longer being the one running things.
