About
I am curious about how systems shape people, and how people shape systems. I geniunly care about transparency, privacy, and consensus building. In my life I choose depth over speed, and listening over speaking.
Where I come from: a mix of research, security engineering, and policy work; a love of emotions and details of this world; running and tennis when my head needs fresh air; I love flowers and butterflies, and my connection to this world.
I embrace my psychological rarity and my level of emotional depth and refusal to accept shallow and limitations. "The privilege of lifetime, is become who you truly are."
Life philosophy
- Attention is limited and is currency. I spend it on what interests me or benefits my survival
- Movement over rumination. Walk, write, ship; don’t spiral.
- Privacy is dignity. I choose what to reveal, and to whom.
- Measure, then moralize. When in doubt, look for the signal, not the noise.
Propositions I’m testing
- Small daily rituals beat occasional big efforts.
- Most anxiety is an action cue: do the next simple thing.
- Data changes minds slower than stories—so pair them.
- Silence after clarity is self-respect.
- If I’m unsure, I sleep on it; if I’m excited in the morning, I proceed.
Favorite quotes
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.” Viktor Frankl
"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt
“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” Anais Nin
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Rumi
(I’ll keep a rotating list here.)
Now
Practicing stillness. Writing short notes. Choosing better inputs: fewer screens, more pages, real walks, real friends.
