About

I have a computer science degree I don't use the way it was meant to be used. What I kept from it is the useful part. How to look at something complicated and not be scared of it. Everything since has been startups. Small rooms, founders close by, problems that were nobody's job until somebody picked them up. I picked up a lot of them. Some of them I was even ready for. The thing I didn't expect was AI. It went from something I was reading about to the way I do almost all of my work, and it quietly changed what I think one person is capable of owning. People ask why I didn't take the safe route. I keep almost taking it, and then not. I'd rather be where the decisions are actually getting made. Something of my own, one day. Until then I want to be near people building things they care about. If you're building something, tell me about it. That's honestly my favourite part :)
