More than anything, I am a maker. Long before it was a career, I was the one who could not leave a half-built thing alone. I would take it apart to understand it, then put it back together better. That itch has never gone away.

These days it shows up as building for the joy of it: AI tools and side projects, trips I plan for friends, the occasional song, something on the laser bed. I am a serial hobbyist with a fondness for outdoor recreation and overly ambitious adventures, usually with an audiobook playing on the way there.

What truly fills my cup though are people and impact. The things I am proudest of are the times where I brought a group together, or when I left something better for whoever comes next. The professional version of my story can be found on my Work page, but it grows out of the same principle: I love turning a messy idea into something that works, for the people I care about.
