I work in business development. Most days I'm closing deals. Other days I'm chasing a client who developed sudden amnesia the moment the invoice landed. I love sharing what I know, and I love it more when I learn something back. A room of first-year students or a founder twice my age gets the same effort from me. What actually gets me going is pushing someone past the thing they've already decided they can't do. Guest Lectures are just where that shows up most often. The real goal in that room is never the pitch. It's one person making a decision they've been putting off, because someone finally told them they could.

What actually gets my attention is hunger: someone who wants to grow, who will teach what they know and still ask questions like they know nothing. Doesn't matter if that person is nineteen or forty nine. I have learned more from the right junior with real hunger than from people with twice the experience.

Off the clock I am building AI agents, mostly because I like taking something apart to see how it thinks. I also lose more games than I would like to admit. But the thing I actually chase is conversations. Ask me what drives someone and I will listen longer than is strictly polite. Everyone is running on some private engine. I just like finding out what it is.

This site is where the frameworks live so I stop rewriting them in DMs. Real numbers where I have them. The rest of me shows up here in smaller doses, not because it is hidden, just because some of it is better said over a call than typed on a page.
