Engineer. Occasionally writes.
I don't have a dramatic origin story about engineering. What I remember most is curiosity. Not toward outcomes, but toward mechanisms. I was drawn to how things worked behind the scenes.
Now I build tax infrastructure at Commenda. I started on the frontend, found my way to backend systems, stayed because designing interaction between systems is more interesting than interfaces between humans and systems.
Writing
Sensory Preferences
Piano evokes something oceanic. Calm but vast. I prefer environments with low noise, flowing sound, subtle continuity. Silence with texture.
Music
My taste is less genre-driven, more emotion-driven. Eminem, Linkin Park, Elvis. Not for sound alone, but for vulnerability expressed through strength. Fragility disguised as force. There's often quiet sadness behind intensity. That contrast stays with me.
Lifting
The gym is where things are simple. You build, something changes. No ambiguity. No interpretation. Just physics.
