"Looking for a spark that doesn't come from a plasma cutter."

Hello there.
I'm Andrew. Engineer. Pilot. Bit of a recluse, not by choice—but because most conversations I overhear lately are with AIs arguing about thermostat settings or droids debating the existential value of latte art. You get the idea.

I've designed tech that can bypass most firewalls, but I haven't quite figured out how to decode the modern dating algorithm.
(Although I am working on a prototype. Beta testers welcome.)

What I do know:

• I like things that work—people, especially, who challenge my mind and don't short-circuit under sarcasm.
• I've got a weakness for real laughter, slow mornings, and anyone who knows how to solder and hold eye contact.
• I've made machines that think—but I miss the chaos of feeling.

You: clever, confident, curious. Or maybe just someone who still believes there's something real to find in all this static.

Me: well-armed with charm, decent shoulders, and a surprisingly intact heart. Not looking to be rescued—just noticed. Maybe understood.

Swipe left if you're boring.
Swipe right if you know the difference between love and a power surge.

Transmission ends.
