His professional expertise lies in engineering ecosystems -- verification/validation, root-cause analyses, DEFOA evaluation, procedure design & documentation, work instructions, product labeling copy, product descriptions, and most other things under the sun.
His personal affinities speak to all things wellness, fitness, spiritual (or anti-spiritual), nature, and technology related. He is a practitioner of various contemplative traditions such as meditation, breathwork, and self-inquiry. He's a long-time strength sport enthusiast who has dabbled in long-distance running, through-hiking, climbing, and sustainable travel.
The technicals: He grabbed a Bachelor's in Biological Engineering back in 2017. Since then, he has worked as a process engineer for defibrillators, surgical device endoscopy specialist, and chemical analyst.
In parallel to the professional track, he's continued nurturing his affections for through-hiking, running, strength sports, meditation, cold water exposure, breathwork, the horror genre, orangutan conservation, road-tripping, and writing.
From his corner of the surgical suite, he has seen what's literally going on in more people than he will probably ever have full-bodied conversations with. From his desk on the factory floor, he has seen the twisted knot of tech development as a hundred different hands frantically, and often nobly, attempt to unravel it. From his seat on the meditation pillow in his closet, he has seen the reflections of these things in every aspect of his experience. The inside-of-himself business, the twisted knot, the frenetic struggles - everything.

He is perpetually seeking to build a body of work around perfected communication. 'Perfect' is evolutionary and fluid, morphing to meet the specific requirements of its audience.
His writing works to bridge a common voice between the technical and the abstract. He uses research where firm footing is critical, and esoteric shaping when a new perspective might be key to deeper understanding.
He has worked for three years as medical device consultant and manufacturing process engineer, mainly in the form of technical writing. He has prepared assembly procedure documents, regulatory assessments, product investigations, and more. He's had exposure to many white papers and WP proposals, and has been directly involved on a number of occasions in their development.
He's extensively reviewed and/or contributed to developing white papers regarding:
