About

Building GenAI, distributed data systems at global scale as the day job. Side quest: open-source libraries and writing up what I learn along the way. Always rolling for initiative. Open to new adventures — drop a line if you want to party up.

I don't think my side projects are interesting because of what framework they're written in. They're interesting to me because I build them under the same rigor I'd bring to anything, for an audience of exactly one person whose trust I genuinely could not afford to lose — because that person is me, in the middle of trying to change something real about how I live. I still write the decision down before I write the code, not because a design doc is impressive, but because it's the only way I've found to catch myself lying to myself about why I'm building something a certain way. I still do only the engineering the goal actually calls for, and skip the rest, because effort spent on a problem that doesn't exist is effort I don't have left for the problem that does. That discipline isn't something I put on for a code review. It's the same discipline that gets every one of these tools built, and so far, kept every promise.
