I’ve been in love with software for over 35 years — not just as a profession, but as a lifelong passion. It all started at age 10, writing simple games in BASIC on my Commodore VIC-20, and I’ve never stopped since. I’ve always seen code as a kind of poetry, often reading C source code for pleasure and inspiration. I’m a self-taught learner at heart, always curious, always experimenting, even before studying computer science formally. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats — developer, architect, manager — but my goal has always been the same: to build better, smarter software. In the mid-90s, I embraced Agile ideas early on, realizing smaller steps help avoid wasted effort and align better with real needs. Later, chaos theory and decentralized systems sparked new ideas for self-replicating software and federated databases. Bitcoin and Ethereum only deepened my thinking about what’s possible.

In the past 10 years, I've obsessed with applying chaos theory to software, trying to move away from the structured approach to embrace a more natural evolution, the emergence of software systems from simple self-aware components.
