— essays and notes, published irregularly
2026-05-15 · What I got wrong about my own offer decision
Earlier this year I signed with a Series B AI infrastructure company, then walked away six weeks later. I want to write down what I actually learned from that, because most of the online writing on offer decisions is either too clean or too dramatic…
2026-04-15 · The strategic value of writing your own SQL
Every time I request a pull from a data team instead of writing it myself, the analysis gets worse. Not because the data team is worse at SQL than I am — they're better — but because the shape of the query keeps changing as I understand the problem…
2026-03-15 · SLG-to-PLG is a story about internal politics, not funnels
The literature on product-led growth is heavy on funnels, activation curves, and pricing. It's very light on the thing that actually determines whether the transition works: whether someone senior is willing to defend the sales team publicly through the change…
2026-02-15 · Southeast Asian PMs are trained differently
Six countries, six regulatory regimes, six versions of what the customer even means. Doing product across Southeast Asia teaches you a different set of instincts than doing product in a single deep market — and most of those instincts don't transfer cleanly when you move to London or New York…
2026-01-15 · Sovereign compute is a policy category, not a market

Life.
Movement
A non-negotiable daily gym habit. It's the one part of the routine that's held through every job change, timezone, and continent — and the thing I keep coming back to whenever I need to think clearly.
Photography
A running collection. Mostly shot on [camera / phone]. Mostly cities, mostly light. Photo grid below.
Astrology
Casually into it. Not because I take it literally, but because it's the most durable ancient system for asking people the questions we don't otherwise know how to ask. Also a good icebreaker.
Food
Vegetarian by preference. Always looking for the good places — send recommendations.
Places.
Lived in
London · Dubai · Singapore
