About

I build systems that control physical processes — the kind where bugs don’t throw exceptions, they break hardware. My background spans mathematics, cybersecurity, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and DevOps, which is a polite way of saying I keep ending up at the intersection of formal systems and messy reality.

I write here to clarify my own thinking. Publishing is useful not because anyone needs my opinions, but because the act of making an argument legible to others forces precision that private notes don’t.

Nothing on this blog is written by a language model. I use them constantly as tools — for search, for drafting code, for exploring problem spaces. But writing is thinking, and outsourcing your thinking is just generating plausible text about things you haven’t actually understood.
