There are people who introduce themselves with a job title. I prefer unfinished sentences.
The name is real enough for the internet and vague enough for reality.
I spend a significant amount of time teaching machines to follow instructions, convincing computers to cooperate, and occasionally discovering that the bug was me all along.
I'm interested in technology because it changes how humans think, build, and communicate — not because it's shiny. I enjoy good ideas regardless of source. A research paper. A late-night conversation. A joke that accidentally contains a profound truth.
The internet encourages certainty. Reality rarely rewards it.
If something appears chaotic, there's usually a pattern hiding underneath.
I like obsessions.
Technical. Social. Economic. Natural. Fictional worlds with surprisingly consistent internal logic. Finding the pattern — that's the obsession.
Things shipped.
2025–26. All of it real. Most of it on X.
Work in public.
Think in private.
A few
principles.
- 01Strong opinions, lightly held.
- 02Curiosity over ideology.
- 03Building over complaining.
- 04Evidence over noise.
- 05Humor over self-importance.
Especially the last one. Life becomes significantly easier when you accept that every human is capable of confidently explaining something they misunderstood five minutes earlier. Including me.
Curiosity creates strange combinations. You'll find me wandering between disciplines — following whatever rabbit hole won this week's internal election.
Not everything here is a conclusion. Some things are questions disguised as essays. Some are essays disguised as jokes.
Also, a small library.
When I'm not teaching machines to follow instructions, I write for people instead — usually small ones. A field guide to Formula One. A first book of grammar. And a three-part children's series on artificial intelligence, one age bracket at a time.
There used to be a joke here about never finding a publisher. Then one found me. All five are out on Google Play — which makes the buy links suddenly, alarmingly, real. Each costs about a coffee, which feels like a fair trade for a year of arguing with commas.
See where to buyInteresting problems welcome.
If you have a strange idea, a useful correction, or a question that doesn't fit neatly into a category — the best conversations usually start that way.
