I’m a builder at heart. I move fluidly between code, electronics, and data—whether it’s writing Go servers and game engines, hacking Factorio mods, tuning Linux systems, or modeling solar batteries. I like to peel back abstractions, test assumptions, and make trade-offs visible with graphs, benchmarks, and prototypes.

I treat every project as an experiment: build, measure, refine, repeat. My repos reflect that tinkerer-scientist loop—sometimes it’s a polished tool, other times it’s a weird prototype that scratches an itch. Either way, it’s hands-on, data-driven, and open to exploration.

I value efficiency and leverage: scripts that automate, formats that clarify, visualizations that reveal. If there’s friction between an idea and a working system, I want to sand it down.

In short: I don’t just use systems—I take them apart, rebuild them, and see how far they can be pushed.
