// About

Systems thinker, chronic project accumulator.

B.S. Aerospace, M.S. Systems Engineering. Ten years in spaceflight — Delta II launches, 🕵🏻, Shuttle SRBs. Thirteen years in patent prosecution.

1 + infinity is still infinity.

// Wortcunning

Old English for plant knowledge — the kind accumulated not by reading but by being present, paying attention, and writing things down.

A single observation is a data point. A season is a pattern. Several years of the same plants, the same animals, the same corner of the same yard starts to become something closer to what Jefferson was doing at Monticello.

The food web is the eventual shape of it. The technology is local, self-hosted, and owned outright — because data about a place should belong to the person watching it.
