Curious by default.
I stay close to the work: architecture, product, the difficult edge case, and the person who has to live with the result.
I've spent a long time making software that has to work when the stakes are real — from transport and payments to tools that help people respond in an emergency. The thread through all of it is the same: understand the shape of the problem, make the complicated part feel simple, and build systems that get more useful as they learn. The biggest startup chapter was Audience Republic — a business I helped build and eventually sell.
Outside the stack, there's dance, travel, and a habit of learning things the long way round.

the long way round
I still like machines you can understand.
My habit of keeping old machines alive started with a Macintosh Classic my dad bought me when we lived in Hong Kong. It wasn't just a computer. It was early access to possibility.
Now I repair compact Macs, read schematics, chase bad pads and tired capacitors, and keep one on the desk beside the modern machines. The point isn't to preserve a decade. It's to keep curiosity tangible — and remember what good tools can unlock.
