About Me
Hello! I’m a Bostonian engineer with a passion for writing, a fascination with how words are used, and a drive to share it with others.
My Goal
I aim to write content that pushes toward a goal. Every post should either serve as a foundation for ideas to come, or build upon the ones that came before. I hope you can use the roots and branches to see how ideas grow over time.
Engage!
I invite civil disagreement at every junction from all ends of the spectrum, whether further left, further right, or some other direction. I’m always looking to be proven wrong so I can do better next time.
