How you do one thing is how you do everything. My career is successful because I stay curious and act on that curiosity. But my brain doesn't just stop analyzing when I log off. This space is dedicated to the miscellaneous experiments (the side-quests) that keep me sharp, patient, and creative.

Parallel Processing: Side-Quests in Refinement

In the tech world, we often talk about "specialization", but I’ve found that the best solutions often come from cross-pollination.

• Bonsai taught me the patience required for long-term infrastructure health.

• Cooking taught me the importance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

• TTRPGs taught me how to debug a narrative in real-time with a diverse team.

Here, you’ll find the logs of my "non-technical" technical pursuits.

/BONSAI: The Long-Term Prune

Bonsai is vulnerability management for the natural world. It’s about structural integrity, iterative growth, and the discipline of constant monitoring.

/KITCHEN: Culinary Engineering

I don’t just follow recipes; I deploy flavor profiles. This is where I break down the "API of a Marinade" and other kitchen-based SOPs that treat the stovetop like a lab.

/SANDBOX: Analog Systems & TTRPGs

This is something I'm hoping to get more into, and I just developed my first [Backdoors & Breaches] scenario at the time of this update. But whether it’s the stressful incident response of B&B, the high-stakes heists of Blades in the Dark, or the epic escalations of 13th Age, tabletop gaming is the ultimate sandbox for testing collaborative problem-solving and system mechanics.

/LOGS: Miscellaneous Thoughts

From my "Daily Bread" Bible reading plan to my latest Obsidian "glassmorphism" CSS snippets, this is the catch-all for the experiments that don't fit in a box.
