About

I’m Shai.

I have worked across dance education, reactive-dog behaviour, game design, streaming and small digital products. The fields changed. The part that kept pulling me in was learning how a system works, noticing where people or processes get stuck, and trying something practical.

I tend to learn by getting close to the work. I ask questions, observe what is actually happening, build enough domain understanding to challenge assumptions, and adjust as new information appears.

I am comfortable being new to a field when the problem is interesting. I do not try to replace the people with deeper specialist expertise. I try to learn enough to see the whole situation clearly and work well with the people who know parts of it better than I do.

Writing

I also write.

My Substack is where I work through ideas in public: learning, games, travel, dance, personal observations and whatever else I am trying to understand.

Visual work, dance, travel and smaller creative pieces live mostly on Instagram rather than inside this professional site.
