Hello, World — Why I Built This Site
A quick note on why I finally built a personal site, what I plan to write about, and why it's styled like a 1980s terminal.
Why Now?
I've been meaning to start a personal site for years. The usual excuse: too busy shipping things at work. The real reason: I kept waiting until I had something "worth" putting out there.
That's a trap. You write your way into having something worth saying, not the other way around.
What This Will Be
A place to think out loud about:
- AI engineering in production — the messy reality, not the happy-path demos
- Architecture decisions — why we chose X over Y, and what we learned six months later
- Tools and workflows — things that actually made me faster
No hot takes. No content marketing. Just the things I wish I'd found when I was working through a problem.
On the Aesthetic
Yes, it looks like a hacker terminal crossed with a neon sign. I built it that way on purpose. I spend most of my day in dark IDEs, CLIs, and dashboards. A site that looks like it belongs in that world just felt right.
Also, scanlines make everything better.
Let's Go
