I like understanding how things work. Not just mechanically — systems. How parts connect, where pressure builds, what snaps first.

Spent way too many hours on Caesar III as a kid. Wasn't even playing it right — just watching the city grow, figuring out the patterns. Still do this with everything. Traffic, supply chains, organizations. Same puzzle, different skin.

I read a lot. Papers, tools, methods for mapping complex things. Mostly so I can see faster what's balanced, what's not, and what's about to break. Observe, map, fix the obvious stuff first.

Blockchain Coordination without someone in charge. Still figuring out if this actually works.
Digital scarcity When bits act like finite things. Weird concept, interesting mechanics.
Energy Everything runs on this. Understanding the substrate.
AI Where most of my time goes now. Hard not to.

Engineering background. Ran innovation at a large corp for a while, now running my own thing. Still learning.

(I did finish Caesar III eventually. Properly.)
