Researcher • Writer • Builder • Entrepreneur

I’m a Physics graduate, researcher, writer, entrepreneur, and builder. I spend a slightly unreasonable amount of time asking questions, building things, writing stories, and trying to turn ideas into something useful.

A few numbers, because apparently everything needs numbers.

These change as I keep building, writing, researching, and probably starting more things than I should.

Projects built

Years of experience

The things I keep getting myself into.

Some of it starts as a question, some of it starts as a stupid idea, and some of it somehow turns into an actual project.

Physics & Research

Trying to understand how the universe works... one equation, paper, and rabbit hole at a time.

Technology

Building useful things with code, AI, and a healthy amount of overengineering.

Writing

Fiction, scripts, essays, and whatever else refuses to stay inside my head.

Ray Group

A growing ecosystem of products, experiments, and businesses I'm building for the long game.

AI & Experiments

Testing ideas, breaking prototypes, and occasionally making something surprisingly useful.

Ideas

The unfinished stuff... because not every good idea needs to become a company.

THE JOURNEY

How all of this came together.

It didn’t happen overnight... Physics came first, then came writing, technology, research, and eventually the urge to build things of my own.

01

Physics came first

I started with Physics because I wanted to understand how the world works beneath the surface. It taught me to question assumptions, follow the evidence, and stay with difficult problems longer than is comfortable.

02

Curiosity turned into research

The more I learned, the more questions appeared. Research became less about collecting answers and more about learning how to ask better questions in the first place.

03

Then I found writing

At some point I started writing seriously... fiction, scripts, essays, ideas, whatever needed to exist outside my head. Writing became another way of exploring people, systems, and questions.

04

Ideas became things

I eventually wanted to do more than study and write about ideas. I wanted to build them. That pulled me into software, AI, digital products, and endless experiments.

05

Building became entrepreneurship

Projects started becoming bigger than projects. I began thinking about products, users, businesses, and the kind of systems that could actually survive outside a notebook.

06

Now I’m connecting the dots

Today I’m bringing those worlds together... Physics, research, writing, AI, technology, and entrepreneurship. I’m still figuring things out, but at least now I know I want to build things that matter.

Skills & Expertise

Things I know my way around.

A mix of things I’ve studied, built with, written about, and spent far too much time figuring out.
