Now

Building seriously, staying curious, and keeping a life outside the screen.

Updated

A snapshot of the work and moments taking up my attention right now.

With the team

The people around a product shape its quality as much as the architecture does.

A team moment from the work behind the current chapter.

Current threads

What has my attention.

01

Building

Leading the technical delivery of YouNegotiate across consumer and creditor workflows.

02

Exploring

Finding useful places for document extraction, retrieval, and structured AI output while keeping the source material visible.

03

Outside work

Making room for speaking, travel, good conversations, and enough distance from the screen to return with better judgment.

Around the work

A few moments that belong in the story too.

Work sessions, speaking, travel, and the pauses in between. No second service pitch, just a more honest picture of the current chapter.

A change of scene

Sometimes the clearest working session starts away from the desk.

A wider view

Time away from the screen helps the next decision become clearer.

A pause

Not every useful thought arrives in front of a laptop.

Outside work

A life outside engineering keeps the work in perspective.

Good company

The conversations worth keeping are not always about work.
