Builder. Learner. Creator.Exploring technology and sharing the journey

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I write about web development, share what I'm learning, and explore new ideas.

Tech Stack

Technologies and tools I use to build things. Always learning, always exploring new approaches.

Languages & Frameworks

React & Next.js

Building modern web apps with React 19, Next.js 15, and the App Router. My go-to for building fast, SEO-friendly sites.

TypeScript

Type-safe JavaScript that catches errors before runtime. Essential for maintainable codebases.

Tailwind CSS

Utility-first CSS framework. Rapid prototyping without leaving HTML. Perfect for design systems.

Tools & Platform

Git & GitHub

Version control and collaboration. Pull requests, Actions for CI/CD, and issue tracking.

Vercel & Netlify

Deploy with confidence. Automatic previews, edge functions, and instant rollbacks.

PostgreSQL

Reliable relational database. Using with Prisma ORM for type-safe database access.

Currently Exploring

Server Components

Deep diving into React Server Components and streaming. The future of React architecture.

Rust

Learning systems programming with Rust. Interested in WebAssembly and performance.

AI Integration

Experimenting with LLM APIs, RAG patterns, and building AI-powered developer tools.

I build things for the web. My focus is on writing clean, maintainable code and creating interfaces that work well for everyone. I'm always learning new technologies and sharing what I discover along the way.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy exploring new tools, reading about web standards, and contributing to open source. I believe the best way to learn is by building and sharing knowledge with others.

My Principles

What guides every decision, from architecture to deployment

Code as Communication

I treat code like prose—it should tell a clear story. Future developers (including me) should understand the intent at a glance.

Empathy-Driven Development

Every line of code affects a real person. I design for diverse users, slow connections, and accessibility needs first.

Performance is a Feature

Speed isn't vanity—it's user experience. I measure, optimize, and monitor because every millisecond matters.

Continuous Evolution

Technology changes fast, but fundamentals endure. I balance cutting-edge tools with battle-tested patterns.
