About me

I spend my days building software and my evenings undoing whatever the software did to my patience. This site is my workshop notebook: what I'm learning, what I'm building, and the occasional essay that doesn't fit either category.

By day I work on infrastructure and developer tooling. Off the clock you'll find me reading, hiking, fixing things that weren't broken, and writing about all of the above.

What you'll find here

• Technical notes — practical write-ups on tools, workflows, and the craft of software.
• Essays — longer thoughts on building things and living deliberately.
• Everything else — the in-between stuff that makes a blog a blog.
