Most of what I learn in a day never makes it out of my head — or out of a Slack DM, or out of a one-time client conversation. That’s been fine for a long time. But the rate of change in data, cloud, and AI is now fast enough that “fine” isn’t really good enough anymore. The advice I gave a client six months ago is sometimes wrong today. The framework I sketched on a whiteboard last quarter is sometimes obsolete this quarter. The thing I read this morning may rewrite something I thought I’d settled.

Writing publicly is the cheapest tool I have for keeping up — and for being honest about what I actually know.

So this is where I’m going to put the working notes.

What I’ll write about

Three threads, mostly:

Strategy and emerging capabilities. I spend my days helping companies turn ambitious technology into business outcomes. The interesting work is rarely about the tech itself; it’s about what changes for the people on the other side of it. I’ll write POVs on what’s actually shifting — generative engine optimization (GEO), AI in enterprise data, the new shape of cloud — and the frameworks I’m using to think about it.

Analytics, in practice. I’m working toward an MS in Analytics at Georgia Tech. The coursework gives me an excuse to dig into methods I’d never touch otherwise. I’ll be posting work from the program — datasets, code, findings, dead ends — as I go. Not because every assignment is polished, but because doing the work in public is a forcing function I respect.

Building. I’m learning to ship apps. The first one is a custom Uno game for a ruleset my friends and I have been refining in person for years. Whatever I learn from the architecture decisions, the realtime headaches, and the inevitable bugs is going up here too.

A note on quality

These will not all be polished essays. Some posts will be in-progress thinking. Some will be wrong six months from now. Some will be short — a paragraph and a chart, no more. The bar I’m setting is that every post should be useful to someone, even if that someone is just me a year from now trying to remember what I was thinking.

The goal isn’t traffic. It’s a clearer head and a more honest practice.

Where this goes

If you want to follow along: /projects tracks what I’m building, /about is the longer story, and this section will fill up with posts over time. You can also find me on GitHub.

More soon.
