I run a private equity firm. I also write code every day.
That isn't a contradiction. It's the thesis. The best investment judgment comes from understanding what technology can actually do, not what a pitch deck says it can do. Every tool here started as a real problem: an inbox that couldn't scale, a phone that couldn't triage, a portfolio that couldn't value itself, a content pipeline that couldn't keep up.
I build because operators who ship their own tools make better decisions than those who delegate to committees. And because the gap between "technically possible" and "actually deployed" is where most value gets destroyed.
