Stripping Away the Noise

Hey everybody.

What is this

Not entirely sure yet. But I do know what I'm trying to get rid of...

There's a lot of noise in tech and in how we build things. Centralized systems that demand trust, too much noise and narratives that sound good but don't survive reality.

I'm increasingly interested in stripping things back. Building with systems that assume failure, that expose mistakes, fraud, and inconsistencies instead of hiding them.

What I'm interested in right now

• Voting systems - Digital voting that's verifiable, auditable, and doesn't require trust in a central authority. How do we build systems where you can prove your vote counted without revealing how you voted?

• Money and banking - The current system is built on layers of trust and opacity. What happens when you rebuild financial infrastructure with transparency by default?

• Decentralized energy - Peer-to-peer energy trading, microgrids, and systems where your solar panels can sell directly to your neighbor. The grid doesn't have to be a monopoly.

• Trust and verification - Systems that expose fraud instead of hiding it. Cryptographic proofs, zero-knowledge systems...

The point

Decentralized networks and tokenization aren't magic fixes, but they force honesty in a way many centralized setups don't.

This blog is a place where I'll think out loud and write about things I'm building or questioning.

That's it, that's the first post.
