Engineer building big systems by day, indie SaaS by night.

I build distributed services for large platforms, ship small SaaS on the side, and write about the parts nobody documents.

Now

Currently.

Building QuietLS — slowly, on purpose

Reading less Twitter, more docs

Listening to long, slow albums

Three things I keep coming back to

  1. 01

    Ship small, ship often.

    A live thing that solves one problem beats a perfect thing that doesn't exist.

  2. 02

    Write it down.

    If I had to figure it out, someone else will too. Notes become posts.

  3. 03

    Boring tech, weird ideas.

    Stable foundations, room to experiment on top.

The shed

Tools I reach for first.

Elsewhere

Best places to find me.

Best inbox for new things: email. I'm slow on DMs and I read every line of a thoughtful one.
