I am a poet who builds things and a builder who still can't stop writing poems. For most of my life I wore one hat at a time, which is why this site has sometimes been a poetry blog, sometimes a tech journal, rarely both at once. Both were attempts at the same thing: figuring out how to think clearly enough to say something true — that hasn't changed.

My career has lived in the part of tech most people only notice when it fails. Enterprise infrastructure. Networking. Cloud engineering. DevOps. It taught me the same thing poetry taught me: what holds something together is invisible, and usually the most important part.

Right now I am deploying infrastructure and networks for automation and telemetry systems in the Canadian mining industry, while launching onto the AI wave and learning the currents.

I am interested in what technology distributes, who governance forgets, and why both questions sound different depending on where you're standing.
