Room to grow.
A home for useful tools, prototypes and things made out of curiosity.

The collection is taking shape.An operator’s
perspective.
I’m interested in the thinking behind what we create, and what happens when it meets the real world.
My work across Energenie and PowerConnections brings together hardware, manufacturing, commercial development and the day-to-day decisions involved in running a business. I’m based in Singapore and work internationally.
This site is a place to document, question and explore. Business, sustainability and AI are recurring themes, alongside the occasional small project that deserves a home of its own.
