I spend a noticeable portion of my life trying to understand how things work, why they fail, and why people keep insisting this time will be different.

I like systems because they eventually tell the truth. Under enough load, pressure, or human optimism, everything reveals its weak spots. I find a strange comfort in that. Complexity tends to be self-inflicted, clarity is always expensive, and the most permanent decisions are usually labeled "temporary."

I'm interested in technology, architecture, games, and the quiet joy of making something less complicated than it was before. I don't believe in perfect solutions. I believe in trade-offs you can live with and explain without creative storytelling.

Most days I try to build things that last longer than the enthusiasm that created them, avoid unnecessary drama, and remain curious enough to not turn into a walking checklist of opinions.

Sincerely yours,
Kirill Arkhipenko
