Independent developer / Portland, Oregon
A solo observatory
field notes since April 2026
Quiet tools. A slower life.
I make software, write down what I learn, and try to build at the speed of a life rather than a launch cycle. After years of automation, a long step away, and a return to work I can stand behind, this is the place where I speak my mind and take notes.

A map of what I've been writing about
Every entry is a star, grouped by the questions I keep returning to instead of what might perform. Hover, focus, or open the index to find your way around.

Let's pave a way for good intentions to flourish.
