About

I have a habit of asking “why?” far longer than most people would. That’s led me down all sorts of paths - distrifrom rebuilding analytics platforms around ClickHouse, to turning hardcoded healthcare workflows into configurable systems, to rewriting an entire application because the architecture no longer made sense to me. I enjoy problems that don’t have obvious answers. The more a system makes me stop and think, the more I’m drawn to it. I like understanding things deeply enough that I can eventually explain them simply. Outside work, I’m usually building something because I’m curious. Right now that’s a provenance-aware knowledge engine and an LSM-tree database, mostly because I wanted to understand how they work from first principles.
