:: The Manifesto (long version) ::

I work at the seam between four things: AI/ML, DevOps, Neurotech, and Product Management. Individually they're disciplines; stacked together they're a way to take a fuzzy idea and drag it all the way into something a person can actually use.

The loop I believe in: build the useful thingput it in front of real peoplelearn out loudrepeat. Six users who genuinely rely on something beats six thousand who bounced. Ship small, ship real.

▸ AI / ML

Models are only interesting once they're doing a job. I care about the unglamorous mile — data, eval, the boring parts that decide whether the clever part survives contact with reality.

▸ DevOps

If it can't deploy, it doesn't exist. I like pipelines that a tired version of me at 2am can still trust. Boring infrastructure is a love language.

▸ Neurotech

Brains and signals are the most fascinating I/O problem there is. Noisy, nonstationary, deeply human. There's a lifetime of hard problems here.

▸ Product Management

Engineering decides whether you can; product decides whether you should. I like holding both at once — the roadmap and the commit.


:: F.A.Q. ::

Q: Why does this site look like it's from 2003?
A: Because the old web had personality. This is mine.

Q: Can I email you?
A: Yes — webmaster@rdor.net. Bonus points if you sign the guestbook first.

Q: Is anything here for real?
A: The projects are. The dancing baby is, sadly, only spiritual.
