Welcome.

This is my personal site — a collection of posts, projects, tutorials, and the occasional deep dive into the things I’m curious about: mechanical engineering, software, finance, and life outside of work.

I write mostly to think things through properly and document what I’ve learned along the way. If something here saves you a few hours on a problem I’ve already wrestled with, that’s the whole point.

What you’ll find here.

• Engineering — notes on reliability, asset management, and computational tools like OpenFOAM and CalculiX, drawn from a decade spent keeping critical infrastructure running in heavy industry.
• Software & Automation — Linux, NixOS, Python, C++, and the tooling I build to make engineering (and everyday) workflows faster and more reliable.
• Finance — quantitative approaches to markets, automated trading, and the occasional spreadsheet rabbit hole.
• Field Notes — posts from outside the office, including a recent stretch working trail crew and snowmaking in the Canadian Rockies.

A note on Medium.

Some posts link through to Medium, where I publish longer-form pieces. It’s a solid platform if you’re after more in-depth writing across a huge range of topics, and a subscription helps support the writers — myself included — who publish there. There’s also a generous amount of free content available, so feel free to browse without committing to anything.

If there’s a topic you’d like me to cover or expand on, let me know — I’m always happy to take suggestions.
