Personal site

Joe Kyburz

Perpetual student. Builder of systems. Curious about what compounds.

This is the personal hub for the tools, projects, writing, and rabbit holes that keep me occupied outside of everything else. Law, endurance training, lifting, wine, behavioral economics, travel, and whatever I decided to learn this month.

Current interests

What I'm doing now ->

Endurance + Lifting Marathon prep, hybrid athletics, body composition, and eventually writing more clearly about strength training.

Wine Sensory education, tasting frameworks, and tools that make wine more social instead of more pretentious.

Behavioral Economics How people actually make decisions when incentives, status, and emotion get involved.

Law Criminal defense, IP, national security, veterans advocacy, and the systems around them.

OSINT Open-source research, synthesis, and practical pattern recognition.

Building Things Apps, workflows, and content systems that reduce friction and survive version two.

Backlog

Publish the report through the same structured project/article architecture instead of one-off pages.

Upcoming

Writing

Notes on things I'm learning, building, testing, or trying to understand well enough to explain.
