I build things that
should already exist.
Physicist by training, builder by habit. First-class physics degree, then straight past the PhD offer into making things. Mostly hardware now — the kind machined out of metal rather than moulded out of compromise.
Currently building Barnacle

Work
BarnaclePremium smart-home hardware and a saner interaction layer for it. Fine-machined metal, local voice, Thread. No cloud round-trip to turn on a lamp.
Lecture CoachTurns lecture recordings into something you can actually interrogate — synced transcripts, timestamped context, and a coach that answers from the material in front of you.
The vehicle everything runs through. Hardware, software, and the occasional expensive lesson.
Also true
A homeserver back in the UK doing media, home automation, Bitcoin and Monero nodes, and a small fleet of agents that handle the boring parts. Encrypted, mirrored, and occasionally on fire.
Running, lifting, boxing. Same appeal as the rest of it: measurable inputs, honest feedback, no way to fake the result.
A Porsche 981 GTS, a deeply sensible Toyota, and a share in an R32 Skyline built to be driven badly on purpose.
