Credentials
MISC
Recurring themes. Symbols. Personal mythology. Doesn't make sense? Doesn't have to.
Time as raw material, not constraint. An old username which turned into an identity across a lot of projects.
Carrying the weight of who you were into the chapter you're writing now. The choice to alter fate anyway.
Post-nihilism. The universe doesn't care which is exactly what makes your choices matter. Neitzsche diagnosed the problem left us to find a solution. Camus was pretty close.
Future \
Decentralised comms as philosophy. Don't depend on infrastructure you don't own. Has led to a lot of interesting shit.
Timeline
Early Signals
Looking back, most of the interests that define me today were already visible here: writing, technology, storytelling, and an unhealthy tendency to disappear into rabbit holes.

Not goals. Not plans. Things currently true. An antidote to the brain that only tracks deficits.
A Honda Civic I got to mod the hell out of.

Outside Work
6+ years in. Espresso machine, French Press, Moka Pot in had, sourcing single-origins, strong opinions about extraction ratios and water temperature. Not a hobby; a practice.
Started from absolute zero, 2026. Vault Strat-style. Trinity curriculum. A deliberate exercise in learning something the slow, patient way.
Sony α6100. Learning to see before learning to shoot. Moody, cinematic — more interested in light and mood than gear.
Riding and modifying. The intersection of mechanical understanding and controlled risk. Things work better when you understand how they're built.
18650 cell recovery, firmware flashing, ESP32 boards (Smart LED Controllers), NVMe enclosures. If it has a PCB, it's fair game. Use the things you own.
