How I Work

A few things worth knowing before we work together.

How I think. Systems thinker: I see patterns and frameworks before I see details, and I make the invisible visible.

I chase optimization puzzles: meaningfully better, not marginally better.

Autonomy and fast feedback get the best out of me.

Deep work is my natural state. I need flow, not fragmented attention.

What excites me. Making complex things simple, understanding why things work, and fast feedback loops that don’t let me stall.

Good people, good problems. I don’t need to buy into a mission. I need interesting problems and people I actually enjoy working with.

I’m direct: I raise the hard question early, and I want work judged on its merits, not relationships.

I show up in public — writing, speaking at API conferences, endorsing industry books, organising community events. It’s part of how I work.

I finish what I start, especially when decisions move in weeks, not months.

I want to be learning constantly, or the work isn’t worth doing.

Fast decision cycles, outcomes over process. That’s the environment I want.

If this sounds like a fit, let’s talk.
