# Built

Products and systems I took from an uncertain idea to a working implementation.

> The following demonstrates `What did I need to find out?` → `What did I build to find out?` → `What evidence did I get?`

Each project starts with an uncertainty rather than an implementation. I build enough to test it, collect evidence, and use what we learn to decide what deserves further engineering investment.
