I build things, chase pawns across boards, and write about what I find along the way.

This is not a portfolio.

It's a trace — of what I build, what I learn,
and who I'm becoming.

I build software for a living. The work is in the writing and the traces.

Five threads

The writing sorts into a handful of topics — pick the one that matches what you're after.

  1. Go & concurrency

    Concurrency patterns, performance trade-offs, and Go code you can reason about.

  2. Software design & testing

    TDD, domain modelling, and the boundaries that make code safer to change.

  3. Design & culture

    Interfaces, Japanese web design, and the context behind design choices.

  4. Notes on practice

    Books, travel, identity, and the ideas that shape how I work.

  5. Projects

    Building production tools — codegen, transpilers, chess software — and the trade-offs each one exposed.

About

The person, the bookshelf, the projects — and where to say hello.

Ce qui embellit le désert, c'est qu'il cache un puits quelque part…
