About Me

Outside of work, I'm usually building something. I spend a lot of time with 3D printing and hands-on projects, turning ideas into physical objects I can test, tweak, and refine. There's something deeply satisfying about taking a concept that exists on a screen and making it tangible. I enjoy the iteration, the problem-solving, and the quiet focus that comes with dialing in a design until it works exactly the way it should.

I'm also a fan of board gaming, especially the kind that rewards strategy, long-term thinking, and a bit of friendly competition. I like games that make you plan three moves ahead, adapt when everything falls apart, and occasionally accept defeat with dignity. For me, it's less about winning and more about the shared experience, the conversation around the table, and the way a well-designed system can pull people together for a few hours.

At home, life revolves around a dog who keeps things grounded. Walks, routines, fresh air, and the occasional chaos help reset the day. Some of my best ideas show up somewhere between a print finishing, a game night wrapping up, and a quiet evening outside. This blog is simply a place to share what I'm building, learning, and enjoying along the way.
