About
For the well-compensated and not yet free.
I have a seat at the table. I'm maximizing every dollar of being here. And while I'm doing that, I'm quietly building the thing that means I don't need the table anymore.
This blog is the documentation of that. Not from the other side — I don't have the exit yet. From inside it, in real time, with the spreadsheets and the failed experiments and the moments that don't resolve cleanly.
I don't panic. I build.
What I write about
The invisible curriculum. Compensation strategy, negotiation, and the moves that get you pulled into roles before they're ever posted.
Real attempts to build things that pay back. Starting with Facebook Marketplace. Documenting what works, what doesn't, and what direct ownership actually feels like.
I use AI at work every day in an industry being reshaped by it. Then I go home and use it to build things for myself. This is where I document what it can actually do.
One essay, every week. No noise in between.
