This is the first post on my new site. I built this as a simple landing page to share my work and occasionally write about backend engineering.

Why a blog?

I’ve been building backends for a while now, and I’ve accumulated some opinions. Not hot takes—just practical observations about what makes systems work well over time.

Topics I might cover:

  • Observability — Why logging isn’t enough, and what actually helps when things break at 2am
  • Database patterns — The boring choices that save you later
  • API design — Making interfaces that don’t make your future self angry
  • Tooling — Small utilities that remove friction from daily work

The stack

This site is intentionally simple:

  • Static HTML generated by Jekyll
  • Hosted on GitHub Pages
  • No JavaScript frameworks, no build complexity
  • Just words and a few cherry blossoms

If you want to chat about any of this, send me an email.
