-## ๐จโ๐ป About Me
+
-I'm a builder interested in the space where **AI, software engineering, infrastructure and experimentation collide**.
+## โก what happens here
-I like taking ideas from:
+One day I'm building an AI agent.
-```text id="vncjob"
-"What if we built this?"
- โ
-Architecture
- โ
-AI / Agents / Tools
- โ
-Backend & Infrastructure
- โ
- ???
- โ
-Working Product
-```
+The next day it's talking to a brokerage API.
-A lot of my work revolves around **AI agents that interact with real systems** โ APIs, databases, financial infrastructure, developer tools, workers and automation.
+Then somehow there's a distributed worker system,
+an MCP server, three Docker containers and a database involved.
-But I'm not particularly loyal to one category.
+
-If something looks interesting enough to build, I'll probably try building it.
+**Most of my projects start with:**
+
+### *"wait... could I actually build that?"*
+
+**and then things get out of hand.**

-## ๐งช Things I Like Building
+
-๐ค **AI & Agentic Systems**
-Agents, MCP servers, tool orchestration and autonomous workflows.
+## ๐งช the lab
-๐ ๏ธ **Developer Tools**
-Tooling that automates or improves development workflows.
+๐ค AI agents that can actually **do things**
-โ๏ธ **Backend & Infrastructure**
-APIs, workers, queues, databases, containers and distributed systems.
+๐ MCP servers & ridiculous tool integrations
-๐ **Financial Systems**
-Experimental AI infrastructure interacting with brokerage and market systems.
+โ๏ธ APIs, workers, queues and backend systems
-๐ **Web Products & SaaS**
-Full-stack products built from prototype to deployment.
+๐ experiments involving markets & financial infrastructure
-๐ฎ **Game Experiments**
-Multiplayer systems, unusual mechanics and Unreal Engine experiments.
+๐ SaaS ideas that escaped the notes app
-๐ก **Random Ideas That Become Repositories**
-Arguably the most dangerous category.
+๐ฎ occasionally opening Unreal Engine and creating another problem
+
+๐ง Linux machines doing questionable amounts of work
+
+
+
+**basically: if the idea is interesting enough, I'll probably try building it.**
