/ Music & Projects
Rhythm, systems, craft.
Outside of work I make music and build small technical systems — part of how I think. Music taught me timing, tension, and listening. Engineering taught me structure, feedback loops, and respect for what it takes to ship. Brands need both.
Music
Instruments & bands.
Guitar
First language. Where most ideas start.
Piano
For structure, harmony, and slowing down.
I've played with La Querda Rota and The Emjeez. Playing in a band is the best team training I know: everyone has a part, the timing is unforgiving, and it only works when people listen to each other.
Technology
The home lab.
Home networking
Designing and running my own network, segmentation, routing, the works. Overkill for a house; perfect for learning.
Servers & self-hosting
A small home lab of services I run myself, because the best way to understand a system is to operate one.
Automation
Scripts and small tools that remove friction from daily life
Code experiments
Hobbyist coding projects, lately with AI in the loop. Building keeps my judgment about technology honest.
