About the workshop

Curiosity is
a way of moving.

Cerulean Works is my place for following questions that don’t fit neatly into one discipline.

I’m Charl—a former software developer now journeying into AI safety. I’m interested in how intelligence shapes the world, how our tools shape us in return, and how to keep sight of what matters while everything accelerates.

But the work isn’t only technical. The ocean, mountains, travel, philosophy, and the difficult business of choosing a life all belong here too. Cerulean Works is where those currents meet.

I write to make my thinking visible, to find the other curious people, and to leave useful trail markers for anyone navigating similar terrain.

Working principles

Follow the live question.

The questions that resist easy answers are usually the ones worth keeping.

Make it tangible.

Ideas earn their shape through essays, experiments, and things built in the open.

Stay close to the wild.

The natural world is not an escape from the work. It is part of the compass.
