This may not be a reassuring solution to some, but I can promise you that it is the only solution: you have to decide you're not the kind of person who wastes time on that. Condemning it, banning it, hiding from it-- all will lead to failure.- The Last Psychiatrist
What I Do
I'm a systems architect who thinks in code but operates at ground level. My edge is seeing what a market is missing before the market knows it's missing it, then moving fast enough to take the advantage.I work at the intersection of human behavior and imperfect execution layers. Not just because that’s where the money is, but that’s where the engaging problems live—finding what’s missing and building machines to capture underpriced opportunities.I'm un/self educated, which means I learned how to learn before I learned anything else. Pick up any domain fast enough, find the angle that isn't obvious, move before the window closes.My approach is simple. Play around to find the thing that's obviously true but somehow not being acted on, then make it impossible to ignore.The window is always closing. I act accordingly.
