Build in public.
Break things
on purpose.

I'm an engineer who uses this blog as a playground. Ship things, learn fast, write it down. My career bounced through military intelligence, chem/bio defense at the Pentagon, IT operations, security engineering, and cloud architecture before landing in cybersecurity defense operations, where I spend most of my days now.

The work here skews toward security engineering, AI-assisted development, and the long-tail craft of making things that actually run in production. I write because the fastest way to learn is to build in public — most posts are postmortems of projects I'm actively wrestling with, not tidy retrospectives from the other side.
