I think in growth loops, not job titles. I reverse-engineer outcomes from users, constraints, and first principles. Then I build whatever is required to make those outcomes real.
Sometimes that looks like products. Sometimes platforms. Sometimes writing. Sometimes experiments that shouldn’t have worked, but did.
Most people don’t lack tools. They lack clarity.
Over the last decade, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat. People adopt new tools, frameworks, technologies — but they don’t change how users behave, how incentives work, or how momentum is created. AI didn’t fix this. It amplified it. This site exists to document how I think, build, and learn while navigating that complexity in public.
Everything starts with growth.
Not marketing growth. Not vanity metrics. I work backwards from what users struggle to do, why they don’t act, and what creates momentum. Only after that do I choose design, technology, tools.
- Understanding human behavior
- Designing incentives
- Removing friction
- Creating feedback loops
Growth thinking pulls you into many disciplines.
I don’t switch identities. I apply the same thinking in different terrains.
- Design, because experience drives adoption
- Branding, because narrative drives trust
- Product, because systems scale behavior
- AI, because leverage compounds intelligence
Growth timeline, not portfolio.
Chronological. Constraint-led. Each entry: Problem → Constraint → What I built → What changed → What I learned.
Here’s how this thinking shows up in the real world.

I don’t separate work from life.
Same principles. Different surfaces.
- Drumming taught me rhythm and repetition
- Racing taught me precision and feedback
- Design taught me restraint
- Business taught me consequences
I think in public to stay honest.
I write about growth systems, AI and leverage, philosophy and long-term thinking, and building from constraint. This site is the canonical archive. Other platforms are distribution.

If you’re here, you’re probably building something.
I’m open to strategic partnerships, long-term collaborators, and investors aligned with leverage and education. If you want to explore fit, book a 30-minute paid call ($50). It’s used to assess alignment and credited if we work together.
