-## 👨‍💻 About Me
+<div align="center">
 
-I'm a builder interested in the space where **AI, software engineering, infrastructure and experimentation collide**.
+## ⚡ what happens here
 
-I like taking ideas from:
+One day I'm building an AI agent.
 
-```text id="vncjob"
+The next day it's talking to a brokerage API.
-"What if we built this?"

-A lot of my work revolves around **AI agents that interact with real systems** — 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.
+<br>
 
-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.**

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