I’m a software engineer, as well as a lover of music, art, design and all things creative.

Primarily, I focus on frontend, but I have found my career taking me in a more full-stack direction lately. I’ve also spent a considerable chunk of time lately hacking on AI agents.

This site is intended to act as a “learning journal” of sorts, for keeping track of interesting things I’m learning throughout my career. I am trying to keep deepening my thinking on what a “good software engineer” is, beyond pure technical mastery — something I believe will be even more important in the future with the rise of AI codegen.

Everything on this site is written by me, not AI. So if you are taking the time to read this: thank you and I hope you find something interesting.
