About
A bit about me.
I'm Beau Dean, based in Australia. A lot of interests — travel, music, computers, esotericism — and a habit of following whichever one's pulling hardest.
I love tech — but used on purpose. Intentional, not by default; tools that earn their place rather than just accumulate.
AI is somewhere in most of what I do, but as a tool not the point. In the hands of someone who already knows how to think, it's genuinely powerful — it compresses time, sharpens ideas, and opens up problems that used to require whole teams. The people getting the most from it aren't chasing the technology. They're using it to go deeper into what they already care about.
How I work
- AI is a tool, not the point

- Don't chase hype — chase understanding
