Tech
Systems that stay up, code that stays readable. I like boring tools doing exciting things — and I care more about the shape of the problem than the logo on the framework.
Available for interesting problems
I build things for the internet, run long distances, and lift heavy.
Software engineer by trade, endurance athlete and lifter by habit. This is the corner of the web where the three overlap.

Four things I keep
coming back to.
Everything below is one of these four, wearing a different outfit. Optimise the system, respect the fundamentals, repeat for decades.
Internet
The last great open frontier. I grew up on dial-up and forums; I still believe a personal page is the best thing anyone can own online. No algorithm decides who reads this.
Running
Miles are honest. You cannot argue with a split, negotiate with a hill, or fake a long run. It is the simplest feedback loop I have ever found — and the one that clears my head fastest.
Lifting
Progressive overload is just compounding interest for your body. Show up, add a little, recover, repeat. The bar does not care how you feel about it today.
Tech
I write software. This section is a terminal — because of course it is.
Type help and hit enter.
The internet
A graph of everything, wired together by anyone who bothered to show up. Move your cursor through it.

Own your corner
A domain and a text file will outlive every platform you have ever posted to. The feed rents you an audience; a website gives you one.
Small pieces, loosely joined
The web won because it said yes to everything. Plain HTML, a link, and someone else's server — still the most powerful stack ever shipped.
Latency is a feeling
Every 100ms you remove is a small act of respect for whoever is on the other end. This page ships in one round trip and no framework.
Running
Distance, time, pace — three numbers that describe an entire morning. Change any of them below and the rest follow.
