I write firmware that has to survive a power cut mid-update — bootloaders, CAN-FD stacks, OTA pipelines on TI C2000 and embedded Linux. The kind of code where "it mostly works" is the same as "it doesn't."
Three books, a poetry collection, letters I probably shouldn't have published, and a podcast called My Inner Monologue — one long attempt to answer why do I do what I do? out loud.
