About.

I am an engineer who writes about software at night, mostly because I do not trust myself to remember anything I have not first written down. This site is the long-form version of those notes.

I have been writing code professionally for about a decade, mostly on the boring backend side of things — databases, distributed systems, tooling, the parts that have to keep working at three in the morning. I like systems that are small enough to fit in one head.

I am suspicious of frameworks, fond of plain text, and quietly convinced that most production incidents are caused by clever code that someone wrote on a Friday afternoon, including, on at least four separate occasions, my own.
