About this site

I’ve been building, breaking, and maintaining technical systems for a long time.

Some of that work has been formal. Some of it has been experimental. Most of it has involved learning by doing, fixing things that didn’t behave the way I expected, and slowly developing an appreciation for boring, understandable solutions.

This site exists as a place to document that process.

Not just the finished outcomes, but the thinking around them. The decisions, the tradeoffs, the mistakes, and the parts that usually get glossed over once something “works.”

I’ve had blogs before. Many of them. Most of them faded out once the platform or expectations became heavier than the writing itself. This time, the intent is different.

This is a notebook.

You’ll find posts about technical projects, infrastructure experiments, and tools I’m learning or revisiting. You’ll also find reflections on work, systems, and the process of building things that last longer than the initial burst of enthusiasm.

I’m not trying to teach everything. I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. I’m mostly writing things down so I can think more clearly and keep track of what I’ve learned.

If something here is useful to you, that’s a bonus.

If not, that’s okay too.

This site is first and foremost a place to think in public, at a pace that feels sustainable.
