About Me

Who I Am

I'm Mike MacDonagh. Online I go by Mechanical Mad Hog / MechMadHog. I build things, break things, fix systems, and document the process.

I’m currently focused on getting lighter, getting stronger, tightening up my life, and building tools (and infrastructure) so future me has an easier job.

What This Site Is

This is not a portfolio, not a sales page, and not a personal brand pitch.

This is my public log: training, recomposition, food, mindset, AI assistant work, sketches, half-built ideas, and anything else I'm in the middle of.

I post while it’s still messy on purpose.

Where I’m Going

The long game is:

  • drop serious weight and build a strong back / shoulders / neck
  • get daily movement locked in
  • build my own AI assistant / workflow brain
  • simplify everything I use day to day — fewer moving parts, less chaos

You’ll see all of that happening across this site.
