Writing

Essays on systems thinking, AI, behavioral science, and engineering leadership.

I write about how teams actually work—not how we wish they worked.

What I Write About

  • • Why decisions stall and how to unstick them
  • • Making invisible work visible
  • • AI as infrastructure, not feature
  • • Behavioral patterns in engineering organizations
  • • The neuroscience of team performance

Main Themes

1. Behavioral Science + Engineering

How insights from neuroscience and psychology apply to engineering teams. Pattern detection, cognitive load, decision-making under pressure.

2. AI & Systems Thinking

How AI changes infrastructure, product development, and organizational structure. Not AI features—AI as foundation.

3. Engineering Leadership

Team health, invisible work, decision-making, and the evolving role of technical leadership in product organizations.

All articles connect theory to practice. I'm not interested in abstract concepts—only insights you can actually use.
