2025 — Handing the system over
In this year
Work #
I handed day-to-day provisioning to a new owner after improving its efficiency and margin, and moved into AI Automation Engineering full-time.
A system someone else could run #
The handoff carried forward the operating process, documentation, controls, and automation. The work could continue under a new owner.
That is what I’m proud of: taking a manual operation through recovery, process improvement, and automation, then leaving a working system for the next person.
Taking the experience with me #
I began applying that experience across service and client teams: learning how people work, identifying the constraints, building with them, and following through on adoption.
Personal timeline #
February–March · GPU teardown and PC build #
My personal hardware photos from this year include an opened graphics card, the inside of my PC, and another card on the desk. Building and looking inside the hardware remained part of my life alongside the move into automation.
June–August · Graphics cards and my setup #
September–October · iPhone 17 Pro, watches, and more #
The iPhone 17 Pro felt like a worthwhile upgrade to me. Cooling, memory, charging, and the display gave me more to appreciate than the previous change had.
Looking back across all these phones, I can imagine a much simpler path: keep the iPhone X, move to the 13 Pro Max, then the 17 Pro. Those are the moments that stand out most strongly in my own experience.
I love hardware, but being excited by it doesn’t make every upgrade meaningful. Some of my favorite devices were the ones I should have kept longer.
