Five Years Later: Infrastructure, Intelligence, and the Things Worth Building
There are things I’ve built that no one will ever see.
Over the last five years, I’ve helped shape billion-dollar infrastructure for one of the world’s largest energy companies. Green hydrogen plants, LNG terminals, systems that deliver real, physical energy to homes and industries—quietly, reliably, without fanfare or press releases.
I didn’t write much during that time—not because I had nothing to say, but because everything I learned demanded my full presence. I wasn’t browsing—I was blueprinting. Not theorizing, but standing on sites, reviewing permits, recalibrating layouts, managing risk, solving problems that couldn’t wait. That kind of learning doesn’t leave room for blogging.
But now, the silence has served its purpose. I’m ready to build in public again.
What’s Changed?
I’ve come to see that infrastructure—whether steel or silicon—isn’t just what we build. It’s how we think. It’s how we decide what’s worth protecting, what’s worth scaling, and what can never break.
That mindset led me to something new: the intersection of physical systems, intelligence infrastructure, and moral responsibility.
I’m here to document what I’ve seen, question what I’ve built, and help shape what comes next.
What to Expect
In the posts ahead, I’ll explore:
- Leading high-risk construction projects that matter
- What digital twins taught me about systems thinking
- Why AI safety starts with physical safety
- Applying project rigor to frontier problem-solving
- And building infrastructure for trust and resilience
This isn’t about hindsight—it’s about infrastructure that looks forward.
If you’ve felt caught between worlds—physical and digital, corporate and creative, execution and ethics—I hope this gives you something real to hold onto.
Because sometimes, building quietly is the honest way to earn the right to speak again.
Let’s begin.
