Life, Craft & Principles
A glimpse into my engineering mindset, daily drivers, and downtime interests.
Engineering Principles
Simplicity over hype
Prefer proven technologies, sharp primitives, and clear mental models over ephemeral frontend and backend trends.
Automate ruthlessly
If a workflow or pipeline repeats more than twice, write a script, build a bot, or deploy a container to handle it.
Measure and ship
Real production feedback beats endless architectural speculation. Ship working software, monitor latency, and iterate.
