Shining Light on What Others Miss

Lights On is a newsletter for people who don’t just want the news, they want the why, the how, and the what’s next.

I’m a data engineer and analyst with a passion for neuroscience, cybersecurity, and deep systems thinking. I believe the most important truths are usually buried beneath the surface and this newsletter is where I dig.

From revealing the hidden forces shaping tech and business to unpacking complex dynamics in cybersecurity and AI, Lights On is about seeing what others miss.

This is independent work, fueled by paid subscribers, which means I answer to you, not advertisers or algorithms.
