Whether you're here for data, music, photography, writing, or just poking around, you're among friends. Life's a little strange, people are wonderfully complicated, and none of us gets a complete map. We explore anyway. If something here makes you think, laugh, wonder, or see the world a little differently, then I'm glad you stopped by.
My whole life I've liked too many things. I eventually figured out the categories everyone kept sorting things into had way more in common than people let on — and that noticing that was the actual skill.
I think in graphs. Ideas, systems, art, risk, data — they all carry tags in my head and the connections are kind of the whole point. I live with AuDHD, and the ADHD helpfully loosens the rigidity of the ASD just enough for things to move around.
At four I asked why I was here and got a brutal answer. That pushed me toward absurdism early — if life is just a process, then everything and everyone is somewhere in the middle of one. That became the foundation: seek truth, understand the system, use what you've got to help people.
A high school teacher drilled "consider all the possibilities" into me and it never left. Neither did da Vinci, Disney Imagineering, Sonic, or the general idea that physics is just having fun. Why can't data be fun? Why does serious work have to be humorless?
Track and martial arts shaped that mindset. My black belt took six years instead of four because coordination didn't come naturally. I eventually hit 10.5 in the 100m and sub-4:20 in the mile — then my kneecaps gave out in 2015. After a COVID hospitalization I turned AI and analytics on myself as a recovery tool. Ten years later I'm sub-6:30 again, which I'll take.
I did filmmaking for a while — mostly comedy — and apparently wasn't that funny, because I ended up in tech to pay rent. But a good joke reveals a different process, a system underneath the obvious one. That's why Chaplin, Monty Python, Douglas Adams, Adventure Time, and Kung Fu Panda all live on the same map for me. They're almost always about someone misunderstood discovering that life doesn't need a forced happy ending to still mean something.
Communication was always the hard part — delayed speech, a tongue tie, delayed emotional processing. I spent years expressing myself visually before words came naturally. AI didn't create the flood of ideas, it gave them a channel. I use it for wellness, clarity, and expression. Not as a shortcut. As infrastructure.
People have told me "we're not artists, we're engineers" like those are opposites. Anything taken seriously enough becomes an art — mastery is just learning when you're allowed to break the rules. I learned that through filmmaking first, then applied it to systems, analytics, and architecture. Socrates said wisdom starts with knowing you know nothing. Jake the Dog said "sucking at something is how you kind of get good at something." Both are correct.
So I don't hoard knowledge. I share it, try to make the people around me better, and keep building things. This site is a window into all of it.
The timeline below isn't a scorecard. It's a map of high-risk projects where people said the answer wasn't possible — and where sitting with the problem long enough actually changed the outcome. Inspired by da Vinci, Disney Imagineering, comedy, and the general belief that physics is just having fun, I treat learning as interconnected. What I pick up in one world gets applied everywhere else.
Music, photography, data, writing — it's all here. And if you want the professional side, LinkedIn has that too.
