Hi, I’m Alfie.

I’ve spent much of my working life bringing people, technology, and business together.

My path began in customer-facing roles and gradually moved through sales, business development, product projects, and partnerships in B2B software. Over the years, I’ve worked with enterprise customers on software, documents, e-signatures, and the practical challenges of bringing technology into real organizations.

What I’ve enjoyed most isn’t simply introducing new technology. It’s understanding what people are trying to accomplish, finding where things get complicated, and working with others to make something useful happen.

I’ve always been curious about the relationship between humanity, technology, and design. My years in business added something important to that curiosity: ideas need to meet real problems, work in real environments, and create value for the people using them.

Over time, I found myself returning to a few questions.

How do we know we're solving the right problem? What information can we trust? And how can technology help us make better decisions without taking those decisions away from us?

Today, I’m working independently as a builder, exploring how AI might help people navigate complex information and make better judgments — particularly in enterprise workflows, where evidence, context, and accountability matter.

Suma represents the longer-term reason behind my work: The right information, at the right time.

Konnyaku is what I’m currently building and validating: Evidence for better judgment.

I'm interested in making the information behind important decisions easier to understand, question, and verify. It’s still early. I’m testing ideas against real problems, learning from conversations and experiments, and staying open to what the evidence tells me.

One principle remains important to me:

The human remains the author of the decision.

This website is a place for me to share thoughts on work, technology, people, and life — along with what I'm building and learning.

Some things are clearer to me now. Others are still taking shape. Some questions may take years to answer, and others might lead somewhere unexpected.

I think that’s part of what makes the journey worthwhile.

Thanks for being here. If you’re working on a meaningful enterprise problem, building something useful, or exploring how technology can better serve people, I’d be happy to connect.

一路走來，工作大多發生在人、科技與商業交會的地方。

從最早直接面對客戶的工作開始，之後陸續走過 B2B 軟體的業務、商務開發、產品專案與夥伴合作。這些經驗大多圍繞同一件事：如何讓技術真正進入組織、被理解、被採用，也能解決實際問題。

比起介紹新的科技，更在意的是人真正想完成什麼、事情從哪裡開始變得複雜，以及怎麼和不同角色一起把有用的事情做出來。

人、科技與設計之間的關係，也一直反覆出現在工作裡。多年商業經驗留下的一個提醒是：好的想法不只要說得通，還要能回應真實問題、進入真實環境，並為使用它的人帶來價值。

久而久之，有幾個問題一直沒有離開。

怎麼知道自己正在解決對的問題？哪些資訊值得相信？科技又能如何幫助人做出更好的決定，而不把決定從人手中拿走？

現在以獨立 Builder 的身分，持續探索 AI 如何協助人們理解複雜資訊、形成更好的判斷；尤其在企業工作流程裡，證據、脈絡與責任歸屬往往比答案本身更重要。

Suma 是這些工作的長期出發點：讓對的資訊，在對的時機出現。

Konnyaku 則是目前正在打造與驗證的方向：為更好的判斷，提供證據。

想做的不是把判斷交給系統，而是讓重要決策背後的資訊更容易被理解、質疑與驗證。現在仍在早期，很多假設都需要放進真實問題、對話與實驗裡接受檢驗。

有一個原則始終不變：

決策的作者，始終是人。

這個網站用來記錄工作、科技、人與生活之間的一些思考，也留下正在打造、驗證與學習的東西。

有些事情已經比以前清楚，有些仍在形成；有些問題可能要花好幾年才能回答，另一些則可能把路帶向原先沒有預期的地方。

這也是這段路值得繼續走下去的原因之一。

如果你正在處理一個值得投入的企業問題、打造有用的事物，或思考科技如何更好地服務人，歡迎交流。
