I'd rather figure it out.

I've pretty much always been making something. In middle school it was burning CDs, flipping sneakers, and coding my own MySpace layouts. I didn't have some grand master plan. I just liked figuring things out—and making them mine.

That never really stopped. I've spent hours working on cars, pulling apart hardware, building computers, learning software, and chasing down one question until I've accidentally learned ten other things along the way.

Even at work, the part I love is finding a process everyone accepts as normal and asking, “But what if we did it differently?” Then figuring out how to make it faster, simpler, or just better.

I'm a self-starter. I learn by doing. Sometimes I get it right. Sometimes I break something first. Either way, I'm usually already thinking about what to try next.

7588 is personal. It's a quiet nod to the people and the place that made hard work, curiosity, and showing up for others mean something to me. I carry that with me in everything I build.
