about moi

Engineer turned founder, currently building Pavilion, a cricket app. 13+ years of software engineering experience specializing in web frontend, previously Canva (still startup-ish when I joined) and about four startups before that.

Apart from that, I also do drone photography and AI automations. I feel very positive about AI 🥹, though I'm quite biased: I've always been a big tech nerd waiting for the sci-fi future, and I can't believe we're almost living in one. I'm a huge PKMS nerd, and one day I would love to get good at filmmaking.

what is this place?

This site is my little corner on the internet, something I've been meaning to build for eternity. Each island represents an area of my life I'm interested in, and (un)fortunately I have way too many interests. I recently learned the word polymath, and I just wanted a way to capture it all somewhere. This is that somewhere.

I've now built enough systems and automations to finally make this dream a reality. It's messy, and not everything here makes sense. As they say, just put it out there and improve later, which goes against my perfectionistic tendencies, but I'm pushing through. It's an early start and I'll keep chipping away at it, because eventually, this is where I stitch all of my interests together.
