The person
About me
I learn by building things and writing about them. Guitar and music are the other serious thread — LCM Grade 8 with High Distinction, working toward diploma level, daily practice. I analyse sport the same way I analyse code: as systems where structure decides outcomes.
This site is the long-term record of how I think and what I can do.
