I’m Seth.
This is a public working lab where I think out loud in writing.
You’re not looking at a finished body of work. You’re looking at how I approach problems: how I break them down, test ideas against reality, build tools, and revise explanations when they fail.

→ About me and my work
These are not topics. They are questions and pressure points that keep recurring across engineering, AI, systems design, and storytelling.
