This website is my little corner of the internet.

It's not really meant to be a portfolio anymore. It has my projects because building software is a big part of my life, but it also has my writing, things I'm doing now, stuff I use, random thoughts and whatever else I feel like putting on the internet.

I want this site to grow with me.

If it's still online when I'm 50, I want to be able to go backwards and see what 23-year-old me was building, thinking about and obsessing over.

How it's built

The site is built with Next.js, React and TypeScript.

Styling is mostly Tailwind CSS.

My writing lives in Sanity.

It's deployed on Vercel.

I intentionally keep the design pretty minimal. The writing is supposed to be the main thing here.

AI

I use AI a lot.

Code, debugging, research, learning and editing my writing.

The ideas and opinions in my blogs are mine, but I regularly use ChatGPT to help clean up, restructure and expand what I've written.

Basically: written by me, re-edited with GPT.

I'm completely fine with that.

Design

Black.

White.

Gray.

Text.

That's mostly it.

I don't want this website screaming for your attention.

I want you to accidentally open a blog and realize you've been reading my random thoughts for the last 40 minutes.

Why does this site exist?

Because I miss websites that actually feel like people.

Not a LinkedIn profile.

Not a perfectly optimized personal brand.

Not another developer portfolio with:

HELLO 👋 I'M A PASSIONATE FULL-STACK DEVELOPER

Fuck that.

This is just me.

Things I've built.

Things I've learned.

Things I've fucked up.

Things I believe.

Things I might stop believing five years from now.

That's the point.
