Started university at 14, led a robotics team that finished 2nd in the world, served in an elite military rescue unit, and later worked at Microsoft on products used by hundreds of millions of users. That path shaped how I think: from first principles, across complex systems, and under pressure. I’m drawn to problems that are hard, messy, and consequential. And this is how one defines construction, an industry with enormous complexity and massive economic impact, where tens of billions are lost when teams make critical decisions without resources to fully understand the job.
