Two maritime chokepoints can transmit risk far beyond the ships that pass through them.
The Strait of Hormuz affects global oil and LNG flows. Bab el-Mandeb affects access to the Suez route. When either becomes unstable, the impact spreads through freight rates, insurance premiums, delivery schedules, energy prices, and commercial confidence.
The central strategic issue is not only whether a chokepoint closes. It is whether persistent uncertainty makes insurers, shipping companies, investors, and governments price disruption into every decision.
This is why geopolitical analysis must trace how a security event moves through markets and institutions. The real economic weapon may be the disruption of confidence before the disruption of physical supply.
I examine these transmission channels through geopolitical and energy-risk briefs for executive and institutional decision-making.

Aruna. Manufacturing Procurement System
An interface study exploring how procurement software can stay operationally dense without becoming visually overwhelming.
Aruna gives manufacturing teams a clearer view of purchasing commitments, supplier performance, delivery risks, approval states, and overall procurement activity.
The visual direction is intentionally restrained: strong information hierarchy, compact data presentation, attention-based status semantics, and subtle industrial motifs inspired by manufacturing environments.
The goal was simple:
Design something with enough character to feel intentional, but grounded enough to feel production-ready.
