About
This is where I publish long-form, visual essays on markets, technology, and the ideas shaping the modern world.
Each piece aims to take something genuinely complex - the mechanics of the global financial system, a shift in technology, a historical turning point - and make it clear, rigorous, and beautiful to read, with charts, diagrams, and illustrations alongside the words.
How this content is made
The essays on this site are researched, written, and illustrated with the aid of AI. I direct the topics, set the angle, and review what’s published, but the drafting is done with large language models (Claude) and the imagery is produced by AI image models. Think of it as a human-guided, AI-assisted publication.
I share this openly because transparency matters. AI is a powerful tool for explaining complex subjects, but it can be confidently wrong. Treat these essays as a well-researched starting point rather than the final word - verify anything you intend to rely on, especially financial, legal, or medical claims.
