Staff engineer. Writer. I poke at things until they make sense.
I build infrastructure, write, make music, and sometimes do a little woodworking.
My debut novella Necessary Cuts is forthcoming from Miami University Press (winner of the 2026 Novella Prize). You can read an interactive fragment.
Professional blogging, advisory work, and tools at Fishstick Labs.
