Building personalised solutions one project at a time.

Engineering write-ups documenting real systems I’ve built, the constraints involved, and the trade-offs behind key design decisions. The systems I have built are targeted to serve my own personal needs, as I strongly believe in building to solve real problems. Most projects run on private infrastructure (self hosted Gitea); articles focus on architecture and reasoning rather than full source exposure.
