Listen. Play. Design. Collect.
The Senate is not a place — it's a system of thought. Every pursuit, every passion, every discipline holds a seat. Together they govern, deliberate, and build.
Playing drums, hunting records, standing in the crowd. Rhythm isn't just sound — it's a system. This senator sets the tempo for everything else.
Wings. Lions. Tigers. Pistons. Detroit sports aren't just teams — they're identity. This senator votes for loyalty, grit, and patience. Always.
Economy management, map control, holding a corner alone with one bullet left. What CS teaches about composure under pressure carries into every high-stakes room.
Culture compressed into fabric. A 1994 Wings Starter jacket isn't just clothing — it's a primary source. This senator collects, curates, and understands that style is memory made wearable.
The mythology that lives rent-free, permanently. The Force, the moral weight of the Dark Side, the quiet Jedi who acts when it counts. Still in session.
The thing that changes everything — again. AI isn't just a tool; it's the new operating environment. This senator watches closely, experiments constantly, and keeps the chamber ahead of the curve.
The professional seat — and the one that brings every other senator to the table. Solution Architecture is the discipline of translating what a business actually needs into systems that genuinely work. It draws on the strategist from Counter-Strike, the pattern recognition from music, the loyalty from Detroit, and the long-game thinking from Star Wars. When the chamber reaches a verdict, this senator is the one who turns it into a blueprint.
The Senate isn't a metaphor. It's how I actually run.
I'm Grant — a Solution Architect who bleeds Detroit sports, treats music like medicine, and hunts vintage sportswear like it's a second career. I also collect Star Wars Lego, run Counter-Strike like it's a job interview, and can't stop thinking about what AI is about to break next. The Senate is what happens when you stop apologizing for the range.
Professionally, I specialize in critical services — healthcare systems where the stakes are real and complexity doesn't forgive shortcuts. I work client-facing and in the weeds. I push back when something doesn't add up, and make it happen when it does.
A curated set of tools I reach for by default — chosen for reliability, developer experience, and the ability to produce exceptional results at pace.
Whether you have a project to build, a role to fill, or just want to connect — the Senate is in session and the chamber is open.
