About Me
I’m interested in solving complex challenges at the intersection of international relations, security, defence, and technology. I believe that structured problem-solving, rigorous critical thinking, and reasoning upwards from first principles are fundamental for navigating complexity and properly understanding things. I channel my efforts through innovation, research, writing, and consulting. Please contact me via LinkedIn.
