Whatever I make, I start by asking why it needs to exist. I’m good at finding the heart of a problem, stripping away what isn’t needed, and turning what remains into a product that works. I work across the full technical stack, from machine learning models to backend systems and frontend interfaces. Large organizations taught me depth; small teams taught me how to build end to end. I think scientifically, but I also pay close attention to the interfaces people use and the details that shape the experience. When something makes me curious, I build it to find out.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with ways of working alongside multiple coding agents. I enjoy working out what to delegate, which decisions to keep for myself, and where to draw the line between building fast and building well.

• CampingPacking only what's needed, building a home in nature, and coming back. No better hobby for a minimalist.
• 3D printingThe hobby of the moment. When I need something, I model and print it before I buy it.
• CookingI'm a decent cook. Ingredients, sequence, temperature — engineering you do with your hands.
• Pizza · chicken · burgersGreat inventions of humankind. I always come back to them.
• Tidying upI just like the state of no-excess itself. Officially certified(?) as having a talent for housework.
