I'm William Azada. I architect enterprise systems, produce electronic music, trade markets, and think about how complex systems behave whether they're made of code, sound, money, or people. This is where the longer-form writing lives.
The common thread is pattern recognition. The instinct to see how something works, why it breaks, and what it reveals about the system it belongs to. Different domains, same discipline.
I made $39,800 in 30 days trading the Iran war. I didn't make it from insider knowledge, or because I had access to a Bloomberg terminal, and certainly not from a hedge fund's research desk. The main difference is that I was reading the system, rather than the headlines like most people.
What I'm looking at is a system. Not only a system, but one of the, if not the largest bureaucratic administration systems the world has ever known. And as of late, it's become a deliberately architected system designed to generate profit from geopolitical events while ensuring no enforcement mechanism exists to investigate it.
I've been DJing for over two decades. Not the kind where you show up with a USB stick and press play. I've also been laid off twice in two years. These two facts are more connected than you'd think.
AI, automation, systems architecture, security, infrastructure, observability. Building things that work under pressure.
Modular synthesis, analog gear, sampling, techno, composition, DJing, copyright, events. Craft over content.
Macro, trading, speculation, trendspotting. Pattern recognition applied to markets. No financial advice, just observation.
Systems thinking, culture, craft, labor, whatever doesn't fit in the other boxes. The connective tissue.
