Hello from the other side
There’s something about rebuilding your personal site that feels like rearranging furniture in your apartment. You tell yourself it’s about aesthetics, but really it’s about control. About having one corner of the internet that’s entirely yours.
This is that corner.
Why rebuild?
The old site worked. It did its job. But it felt like wearing someone else’s clothes — technically fine, but not mine. I wanted something that felt like the intersection of everything I care about: clean engineering, honest writing, and design that doesn’t try too hard.
So here we are. Astro, TypeScript, static output. No database, no runtime, no excuses. Just markdown files and a build step.
What you’ll find here
Writing about the things I’m actually thinking about:
- Frontend leadership — what it’s like to run a team, make technical decisions that stick, and mentor people who are smarter than you
- AI-native development — not the hype, the practice. What happens when you build systems where AI is the architecture, not a feature
- Building in public — side projects, failures, the gap between the idea and the shipped thing
No content strategy. No SEO optimization. Just a person writing about dev life.
More soon.
