About Me

I am a software engineer, builder, and endurance athlete fascinated by the convergence of cognitive technology, physiological performance, and philosophical discipline.

The Triad: Why Three Pillars?

Specialization often breeds intellectual isolation. To cultivate true clarity of thought and enduring agency, I organize my life around three complementary disciplines that continuously reinforce one another:

AI & Systems

The Mind & Craft

Architecting AI-native systems, exploring low-latency voice models (like Innata for language acquisition), and building software that expands human intellect.

Endurance & Fuel

The Physical Vessel

Distance running and cycling. Developing aerobic capacity through Zone 2 volume, studying mitochondrial density, and modeling carbohydrate and electrolyte dynamics.

Stoic Philosophy

The Inner Citadel

Applying classical Stoicism—Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca—to maintain radical responsibility, equanimity under stress, and love of fate (Amor Fati).

How The Disciplines Converge

1. Endurance Informs Debugging

When you run 20 miles into a headwind, you learn that panic wastes energy and pacing is everything. Complex software debugging and architectural refactors demand that exact same psychological endurance: patient hypothesis testing, steady execution, and emotional neutrality.

2. Stoicism Informs Engineering

Systems fail. Network packets drop. AI models introduce non-deterministic edge cases. A Stoic developer does not lament what is outside their control; they focus exclusively on what is within control: test coverage, telemetry, recovery fallbacks, and emotional composure.

3. Systems Thinking Informs Physiology

The human body is an exquisite distributed system. Applying feedback loops, lactate curve telemetry, and metabolic modeling transforms training from guesswork into deliberate, reproducible adaptation.

Technical Arsenal

I gravitate toward tools that provide high leverage, zero bloat, and instantaneous user feedback:

Connect & Follow Along

Whether you want to collaborate on AI-native tooling, discuss endurance fueling strategies, or swap Stoic reading notes, I'm always open to thoughtful conversations.
