Welcome!
I’m Brian, a former strategy consultant, engineer, avid home cook, and amateur photographer. This site is for me to share my accumulated knowledge and expertise across the topics I love: photography, cooking, board game design, and financial strategy.
Whether you’re here to learn, find new ideas, or just to wander. I’m glad you made it. Come explore!
What I’m Building
-
I try to maintain my engineering and coding skills through side projects. LLMs like Claude have opened up a bunch of interesting use cases for agentic workflows and I am currently having a lot of fun creating these for my personal use - hopefully others can find them handy.
-
During my travels, I have been able to take some exceptional photographs. I was saddened by the many photos sitting unseen on my cloud storage, so I want to make them broadly viewable on this site.
-
My favorite pastime is learning new games and sharing them with friends. I’ve built a few iOS app games of my own, am designing a few larger board games, and always learning new game theory concepts.

I’m an avid eater, home cook, and aspiring sake sommelier. Find favorite recipes, how-to-guides, and recommended restaurants in the geographies I’ve explored extensively.
