I work in cybersecurity — which means I spend my days thinking about how systems fail, where trust breaks down, and what it takes to build something that holds. It is, genuinely, a fascinating field. But it has never been the only thing.

I have always been someone who goes deep. Not just into my work — into films, cars, cities, food, and ideas. I don't collect things casually. When something earns my attention, I study it. I form a view. I think about why it's good and what makes it different from everything else trying to be the same thing.

This has sometimes felt like a liability — too many interests, not enough focus. I've come to see it differently. The connections between unrelated fields are where the most interesting thinking happens. A well-engineered car and a well-written film have more in common than people realise. Both require someone to care about every detail, resist the temptation to compromise, and commit fully to a vision even when no one is asking them to.

I am a high-achiever by habit and a generalist by nature. I have strong views on what makes a car great, what separates a good film from a lasting one, which cities reward slow attention, and why most technology is interesting but very little of it is actually good. I think about these things more than is probably useful.

This site is where I stop keeping those thoughts to myself. No algorithm. No engagement metrics. Just the ideas, the lists, and the writing — offered to whoever finds them useful.
