Damian Griggs: Adaptive Systems Architect and Author

As featured in:

The System Crashed. So I Built a New One.

(Introductory Text) For most of my life, I've been an architect—designing systems to make sense of a world that felt chaotic. Then, at nineteen, the system of my own body failed, and I lost my sight.

That event wasn't an end. It was the beginning of my real education in strategy, resilience, and execution. This story is about how I turned my life's biggest "bug" into my most powerful feature, and how that journey informs every business challenge I tackle today.

It's the reason I'm not just an advisor; I'm an Adaptive Systems Architect.

People keep asking:
When were you born? 05/01/2003

Where were you born?

Montana, I would prefer to keep the exact city private for family's sake.

Bean Bash: A Case Study in Execution

This mobile game, alongside my books and music, is presented not as a commercial product, but as a tangible case study in execution. It serves as a real-world example of my ability to manage a complex, interactive software project from the initial concept to a finished product launched on the app store.  

The entire project was developed under significant capital constraints, mirroring the resource-strapped environment that every founder understands. The goal was not to create a polished masterpiece, but to prove the core principle of the "founder's approach": the ability to architect a plan and execute on it with the resources available to deliver a tangible result.  

Ultimately, Bean Bash is another piece of evidence for the systems-based thinking I bring to every challenge. It demonstrates end-to-end project management and a hands-on understanding of the process required to turn an idea into a reality.

The End of the Rabbit Hole

You've reached the final piece of the puzzle. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and what I do. I believe in transparency, so I want to proactively answer the one question I'm asked most often.

My Vision & Answering Last Questions 

The Question: "How much vision do you have left?"

The Answer: My vision is limited to my right eye only, with no peripheral sight.

The Cause: This is the result of an undiagnosed blood clotting disorder.

• At age 19, (Diagnosed with permanent visual disability: June, 2022) a blood clot in the veins of my brain caused my blindness.

• In August 2025, after a few months off blood thinners, a second clot occurred, this time in the veins of my liver.

Thankfully, the recent clot was caught early and no further major harm was done. But to give you an idea of my work ethic: yes, I continued working and posting on X every single day from the hospital bed I was admitted into. That’s the level of dedication I bring to everything I do.

See a Problem Differently.

My entire career has been about turning constraints into advantages. If you're facing a challenge that requires a new perspective, we should speak.
