Engineer, manager, drummer. In roughly that order.
Also a bubble tea connoisseur. Around here: notes on interfaces, teams and coding agents, a few side projects, and a terminal that knows its way around.
Right now
What is on the desk
Updated when it changes, which is less often than I would like.

Side projects
Built on evenings and weekends
Some old, some recent. They stay because I still like them.
Terminal
Prefer typing? Same site, fewer clicks.
The bar at the bottom of every page is a working shell. Not a chatbot: a short list of commands that navigate, search and read this site. Tab completes, arrows recall history.
Playground
Snake, arcade edition
Snake has lived on this site since the first version, so it stays. This one is a cabinet from an arcade that never existed: walls hurt, the speed ramps, quick eats stack a combo. Arrows or WASD here, swipe on a phone.
