Formula 1
Max Verstappen and Red Bull pulled me in. I stay for the engineering: how regulation, upgrade opportunities, packaging and driver decisions change what happens on track.
Away from the work log
The things I keep returning to.
Soundtracks, strange futures, fast cars, chips, markets, and questions with more than one good answer.
01
Music
Joe Hisaishi for wonder. Hans Zimmer for scale. Anime openings when subtlety can wait.

Anime, films and series
Dragon Ball Z is still the favourite. The wider list leans psychological, speculative and quietly adventurous.

Technology
I like trying out Linux distros, reading about fintech products and market systems, and experimenting with the rapidly changing world of AI agents. Lately that means spending time with tools like Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity, and different CLI/harness setups to see what actually improves how I build and work.
05
Finance, markets and geopolitics
I follow the path from a large shift to an everyday consequence: oil prices, geopolitics, chip shortages, DRAM and SSD supply, and why the long trend toward cheaper technology sometimes breaks.
