layer: uptime
How the system stays running. The human side of the builder.
process
I care about organization to a fault. This week I sorted my own Gmail inbox into a parent-child label hierarchy with an agent — not because anyone asked, because the mess was in my head and I couldn't let it go. I multitask hard, take on too much, get in over my head. The balance is the thing I'm always reaching for.
context
My brother runs a flooring business — I built his site. My uncle and I are building a product together. Most of what I ship is for people I know. That's not a limitation; it's the whole point. The work has real stakes because the users are real people I care about.
maintenance
I lift, I cook, I still trust work you can measure with a square. Rochester is home. The physical stuff isn't a hobby — it's the other half of how I think. Hands on a problem, whether it's code or carpet, is the same system.
