Me

Interests

I enjoy developing systems — be that software, schools, mental models or social structures. I like building clean, well-designed entities that work according to deliberate principles.

  • I build CLI tools, Obsidian plugins, software-defined experiment runners and other engineering projects.
  • I categorise my thought efforts and knowledge into neat vaults and write blogposts laden with links. This website originated as a public mirror of my Obsidian vault.
  • I engage with rationality community: I want to dedicate effort to arrive at correct maps of reality. I value good espitemology, culture of thought and discussion, and people’s passion for truth.

I like telling stories — getting to immerse myself or others in a new world, explore new experiences, questions and conflicts through a skin of a fictional character and dig deep into rational worldbuilding brings me great joy, and has been my obsession as soon as my prefrontal core was able to handle enough abstraction.

  • I run, design and research tabletop roleplaying games. When I moved to Tbilisi, I have founded what eventually came to be the largest TTRPG community in Georgia, complete with our own festival and other regular events.

  • I enjoy studying game design, and have tried my hand at developing computer games. I hope to eventually release a textual quest concept for which has been brewing in my head now for too long.
