Engineer first. Everything else follows.

Frontier technology only matters if it works.

I write about the messy middle — from the physics of the hardware, through the governance of the systems, to deployment in the real world.

What I Write About

Three Lenses

How I see frontier technology — through the engineering challenges, the power structures, and the science at the edge.
