About
A longer introduction.
I'm based in Berkeley, California. I spend most of my time studying law, training, and building tools for problems that interest me. This site collects the output from whatever I'm working on or learning at a given moment.
My interests do not fit neatly into one category, which used to bother me and now seems like the point. I'm genuinely curious about training adaptation, how tasting wine improves with a framework, how behavioral economics explains decisions people swear are rational, and how most skills compound faster than people expect when approached deliberately.
I tend to go deep on things. I've run marathons, hold an open water scuba certification, spent meaningful time in Botswana and Japan, and usually have at least one project that is more ambitious than necessary. I lift in the morning, run in the evening, and like systems that make complicated work feel calm.
The projects on this site are real things I built because I wanted them to exist. The writing is honest. The tools are functional. None of it represents anyone but me.
