This page is the home for the search: what I’m chasing, how I diligence it, and (when I publish them) write-ups per company/role. It is intentionally separate from the homepage so strangers meet proof first, narrative second.
“I am looking for a place that I failed to create for myself as a founder, where I am surrounded by challenging minds who share the same enthusiasm, hunger, and a bit of frustration to dismantle the things that aren’t working and build the things that do.”
Same bar as my market research, applied to hiring
- Thesis: why the company, why now, why me.
- Diligence: primary sources where it matters (filings, tariffs, specs), not recycled blog takes.
- Week one: what I would actually do in the first 30 days if I landed the seat.
- Honest status: applied, passed, ghosted, advanced, labeled plainly when I post an entry.
What each public write-up is built to include
Context
Category, geography, regulatory environment, and the specific wedge I believe in.
Role fit
What the job actually is vs what the JD pretends it is, and where I overlap.
Numbers
When possible: unit economics, throughput, risk. Same instinct as my deep dives.
Artifact
Links to anything I ship alongside the app (calcs, memos, tools) when relevant.
This is not vapor “thought leadership”
The Base Power work on my main site is not a job application. It is the same diligence muscle: filings, market structure, hardware cost walk, and an operator take on what I would do next.
If you want to calibrate how I think before any application post exists, start there.

Rows fill in as I ship each write-up here. No fake entries. Until then, the table is intentionally empty; the proof card above is the calibration anchor.
