Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to my corner of the internet.

I started this site for one reason: I kept learning things the hard way and then forgetting them. Notes scrawled in a notebook, a half-remembered conference talk, a bug that took a weekend to find — none of it survives, and none of it gets shared.

This is where I write things down instead.

What you’ll find here

Mostly two things:

  • The blog. Long-form write-ups on embedded systems, software architecture, and how AI tools are changing the way we build. I try to be specific: real numbers, real code, real mistakes.
  • The projects. Things I’ve actually built and shipped, with enough detail that you can argue with my choices.

There’s also a tag index if you want to jump straight to a topic.

A promise about quality

I’d rather publish one article I’m happy to defend than five that exist to fill a calendar. If something here is wrong, tell me and I’ll fix it.

Thanks for being here. Stay tuned.
