About?

Syslog of a Sentient Being is my running log of what it means to juggle technologist, husband, dad, Earth‑dweller, and bewildered human—in an industry hell‑bent on building things that think but rarely stops to ask why.

I’ve spent 20‑plus years in tech: leading teams, shipping products, resurrecting broken systems, and enduring more sprint retros than is medically advisable. I’ve survived layoffs, danced with burnout, and wondered whether every “next big thing” is anything more than recycled hype—and what, exactly, all this effort is supposed to serve.

This space is equal parts journal, lab notebook, and survival manual.

Expect:

• Sharp takes on AI—meaning actual intelligence, not statistical auto‑complete with a marketing budget

• Notes on life, layoffs, and whatever comes next

• Short stories and speculative shards

• Rants, reflections, and half‑baked philosophies

• Debug logs from the messy intersection of code and consciousness

I write for myself first. If you’re reading, cool. Maybe something here clicks; maybe it doesn’t. Either way, this is me thinking out loud in public—debugging life one log entry at a time.

Thanks for stopping by.
