I'm a sorted person who loves systems. Any kind. From a distributed backend that serves millions of requests, to a quiet little routine that optimizes how I fold laundry. What makes designing them interesting is the tension: systems are deterministic, but the world they sit in isn't. Humans aren't, environments aren't. Building one well means writing rules tight enough to hold up against inputs you don't fully control. On the side, I tinker with hardware, security, and critical design thinking. I cook, and I'm trying skateboarding now.
