I've thought about starting a public writing practice for a long time. I keep ending up in conversations — with engineers, founders, investors, colleagues — where I'm explaining something I've thought through carefully, and I realize: I should write this down.
So here we are.
What I'll write about
Three things, mostly:
AI and the high-tech industry. I work inside it every day, at multiple layers. I find the gap between the hype and the actual engineering reality fascinating and often underreported.
Engineering leadership. What it actually looks like to build and run high-performance technical teams. The parts that don't fit in a tweet thread.
Building companies. I'm a founder, and I think honestly about what that means — the craft of it, the grind of it, and the parts that are genuinely hard to explain to people who haven't done it.
What I'm not trying to do
I'm not trying to build a personal brand in the manufactured sense. I'm not optimizing for virality. I'm not going to tell you the "5 things successful leaders do every morning."
I'm going to write things that are actually useful to me to think through, in a format that might be useful for you to read.
A note on cross-publishing
Some of what I write here will also appear on LinkedIn or other platforms. Each post will note its original source. The canonical home for everything is here.
Thanks for being here. I'm glad to have a place to put things.
