Adventures is where the work takes form — in the field, in the code, in the culture.
These stories come from a lifetime of making systems for humans, machines, and the space in between. Some are tales of hard-won production deployments. Others are snapshots of transformation: a team that leveled up, a policy that finally landed, a system that refused to die quietly.
They are not case studies. They are narratives with teeth.
You’ll find no sanitized slide decks here — only work done under pressure, in motion, and sometimes under duress.
When names are changed, it’s not to obscure the truth — it’s to protect the living systems that still run, and the people still inside them.
