Thinking, building, writing
I write and build systems that question comfortable assumptions
This site brings together essays, books and long-term projects focused on technology, leadership and complex systems.
I write about how systems actually behave – not how they are presented – and build practical software and hardware projects that test ideas in the real world.
The work here spans critical essays on AI and power, published and upcoming books, and technical projects ranging from software architecture to embedded systems.
Writing is only half of the work
Ideas matter only when they meet reality.
Alongside essays and books, I build and publish real systems – software, embedded hardware and experimental platforms – to test assumptions under real constraints.
This combination of thinking and building is the core of everything you find on this site.
What you’ll find here
Critical essays
Clear, opinionated writing on artificial intelligence, power, leadership and complex systems.
Books and long-form work
Deeper arguments in published books and works in progress that go beyond articles, trends and quick conclusions.
Real systems
Software and hardware projects built to test ideas in practice, not just on paper. From software architecture to embedded systems.
Ideas don’t matter until they meet constraints
Most writing about technology stays theoretical.
Most building ignores the deeper questions.
This site exists in the space between the two:
where ideas are tested against reality, constraints and unintended consequences.
