Don't chase a niche. Diversify or drown.

01 / threads

Core threads of my work.

I trained as a mechanical engineer and have shipped across the stack since: web apps, LLM tools, hardware, and the growth systems behind them. Four threads keep recurring.

  1. 01

    Go-to-market

    Positioning, launch, and the growth engines that turn products into pipeline.

  2. 02

    Automation

    Marketing and ops automation, LLM-powered tools that remove the busywork.

  3. 03

    AI products

    Applied AI: agents and small tools people actually use, built and shipped fast.

  4. 04

    Hardware

    Mechanical roots: prototypes, drones, and devices that meet the physical world.

/ note 02

Ignore the systems you can't control. Build your own moat.

No feeling is final. The motivation is in the momentum.

Off the clock.

What's holding my attention right now.

currently fixated on
Learning drone assembly, flying, and everything Claude AI can do.

Building drones by hand, the reset from screens I come back to.
listening to
Eminem, mostly. Whatever keeps the momentum going.
reading & watching
Substack, research papers, and finally catching up on movies.

Go find new experiments. Don't die with a clean sword.
