Who am I?

The self is an illusion.

By day, I'm a product manager at a high-growth platform for doctors in Sydney, Australia.

I've been working in high-growth startups since I was 17.

Prev Atlassian and BCG, and was an early employee at two startup platforms that bootstrapped to $35M+ ARR in 2 years

Before that, I grew up on a cattle station 300km round trip from the nearest grocery store.
‍
From age 10, I had 24/7 unsupervised access to all the guns, cars, and heavy machinery.

That freedom left me with a strong sense of curiosity, agency, and a rebellious streak.

You can just build and do things.

My North Star

I believe life is a series of experiences, and then you die.

Consciousness, the ability to experience, is a fleeting and rare opportunity in an otherwise chaotic, uncaring universe.

It would be a shame to waste that opportunity.

Optimise for experiences.

This is the North Star guiding my life.

Put mathematically: my life equals the sum of my own experiences from birth to death, times my contribution to improving the experiences of others.

All worthwhile pursuits improve the human condition in one way or another.
