Things I Do | Writing, Photography, Reading, Engineering

💻 🥷🏻

Engineering

Technology & Development I’ve been working in software for almost 20 years, which mostly means I’ve had enough time to make mistakes in several different architectures. I still enjoy it, unfortunately. Not because I believe technology will save us, but because I like solving problems, making things slightly less annoying, and occasionally building systems that continue to function after I stop looking at them. What This Usually Means Most of my work lives somewhere between product, systems, and practical survival.

Reading

Reading I read almost everything I can get my hands on, which sounds noble until you see the shelves and realize it may just be a highly organized form of intellectual hoarding. I don’t really have a single favorite genre. I have recurring obsessions. Philosophy. History. Politics. Political psychology. Biography. Thrillers. Suspense. Literary fiction. Science fiction. Myth re-tellings. Classics - old and modern. Alternative storytelling. Essays. Newspapers. Strange books that shouldn’t work but somehow do.

Writing

Writing I write when a thought gets too large to remain a status update. Sometimes that becomes an essay. Sometimes a review. Sometimes a half-finished draft with suspicious ambition. Sometimes a recipe written like it survived a small domestic war. Mostly, I just keep writing things down before they turn into mental clutter or worse - confidence. What I Write My writing is spread across a few different corners of the internet and a few more corners of unfinished documents.

Photography

Photography I mostly photograph streets, cities, and the people moving through them. Not in a grand documentary sense. More in the quieter way - pauses, glances, reflections, motion, waiting, light landing correctly for half a second, and ordinary places briefly becoming more interesting than they intended. Most of the time, I just look through the viewfinder. Other times, I try to capture light, people, streets, and the everyday stories life leaves behind.
