Mission Dossier
I'm an engineer who can't stop asking "but why does that actually work?" I build data-sovereign systems by stripping problems down to first principles — and I log the messy parts here so future-me doesn't repeat the same mistakes.
I don't try to reinvent foundation models from scratch. I'm an execution engine — I use AI to ship functional, data-sovereign systems that solve real problems. Fancy research papers can wait.
What I'm Building
Right now I'm deep in agtech — trying to put AI where it actually helps farmers, not where a pitch deck says it should. I also build tools for educators, like Vellor, an offline-first tool for independent educators.

- Vellor Protocol [ LOCAL_CORE ]
- Data-Sovereign Tooling [ DEPLOYED ]
What I'm Learning
My curiosity pulls me toward the weird corners of reality. Lately that's rocket math (DeltaV Lab is my excuse), quantum mechanics I barely understand, and psychology — nine years of teaching will do that to you.

A Note on the Journey
LOG_ENTRY: 402FuelDrop was more than a codebase for me — it was my main startup bet in Q1 2025. I wanted on-demand fuel logistics; the repo at v3.0.0 is a frontend UX demo — polished ordering and captain surfaces, no WebSocket backend, no dispatch ops. The honest confession is published: why-and-what .
"Knowledge kept secret is knowledge wasted."
The hard-knock lessons — optimistic UI on mock state, portfolio claims ahead of the repo, what I'd do differently — live in the FuelDrop mission log and the full transmission series .

Pedagogy from First Principles
LOG_ENTRY: 501Before focusing on software architectures and ag-tech, I spent nine years investigating how to cultivate deep curiosity in student minds. My methods focused on stripping complex phenomena down to physical fundamentals—conducting experiments while cooking, holding classes under open skies, and analyzing real-world observations like train motions and football trajectories.
