Life lately
A quiet snapshot, not a status feed.
A few things that have my attention beyond the work samples and job titles.

- Making this site a better record of real work, side projects, and the people behind both.
- Studying practical AI use in engineering workflows—especially testing, documentation, code review, support automation, and human accountability.
- Keeping an eye on the small platform and process changes that make production work less dramatic.

Read
On the shelf & in the queue
- Keeping technical, fiction, and personal-growth books in rotation at the same time.
- Making room for technology, science, pop culture, strategy games, simulations, and RPGs that reward curiosity and good decisions.
