Engineering.
Uncertainty.
And being human.
I’m a software engineer working across energy, data and research. I test how AI systems and agents behave under pressure, and build data infrastructure for UK household energy studies. This site is where I think in writing: essays on technology and the people around it, and shorter, more personal pieces.

Open questions
Thinking through, not finished with.
Lately I keep coming back to the same question: how do you evaluate and test software built on non-deterministic components, particularly LLMs and agents?
- How do you establish what “good enough” means?
- How do you investigate failures, and tell whether a change has actually improved the system?
- What can simulations tell you about the real world?

My work focuses on designing and building data infrastructure that gives UK researchers access to detailed energy datasets while maintaining strong privacy protections.
