I model constrained systems.
Now I’m building for the scarcest one.
Six years modeling constrained systems across industry and research. Grid-integrated hydrogen with CSIRO Australia and Argonne National Lab. Supply chains at production scale in Mumbai. Now the scarcest system of all: human attention. Scope is the wearable I’m building for it, patent pending.
The thesis
When an input becomes abundant, the constraint moves.
Energy, compute, intelligence. Every input I have modeled eventually stopped being the bottleneck. Intelligence just became abundant, and the constraint moved into the human mind. Everything below follows that idea to its conclusion: the research, the models, and the device.
Read the essay ↗︎Somewhere in the last minute, your mind left this page without asking. It does that for about half your waking hours.
Stay a moment, then switch tabs. I will notice.
THE THESIS, ARGUED · LONGFORM
The oldest problem that was never solved
Forty-five centuries of recorded attempts to fix the wandering mind, and why every one of them aimed at the wrong target. As intelligence becomes abundant, the binding constraint moves to command: choosing what your mind works on, and finishing what it starts. The argument that became Scope, in eleven chapters.

01 · FLAGSHIP · HARDWARE + RESEARCH
Scope: the instrument for human attention
A wearable that detects the moment your mind leaves the work it chose, restores it below the threshold of notice, and proves the restoration worked. A control arm runs inside the device. Filed with the USPTO as sole inventor, pro se, while working a full-time research role.
The mark is the spec. The dot is your attention. The ring is the work you chose. The gap is where Scope works.

When should an electrolyzer run?
From my first-author Sustainability paper: the carbon intensity of grid-powered hydrogen swings by more than half across a single day. Drag the hour below. Carbon-aware operation means producing in the clean windows, and the slider shows you exactly what that is worth.

Thirty-five years of the U.S. semiconductor supply chain
A system-dynamics model of the American semiconductor supply chain from 1990 to 2025, tracing how capacity, demand shocks, and policy ripple from raw materials to end use. Press the button and watch a demand shock propagate through the chain, exactly the way the model traces it.
