About
I build software from a rough model through production, then stay for the awkward parts: real users, unreliable networks, old systems, and operational constraints. My work spans Kazakhstan’s national e-government, maritime safety in Denmark, and enterprise products in Canada and the US.
I write about small-company economics, borders and institutions, attention, and the mechanics of an independent life.
