About

This is a personal publishing platform built to last.

I write about things I do and experience directly: places I visit, runs and hikes, software I build, and things I learn about AI and technology. Every article is written from first-hand experience.

Why this exists

Medium, Substack, and other platforms are useful, but they come with trade-offs: lock-in, algorithmic distribution, and no guarantee of longevity. This site is an attempt to own the content, the domain, the analytics, and the publishing pipeline entirely.

The goal is a platform that still works correctly in ten years without significant maintenance.

What I write about

How this site is built

Built with Astro and edited withKeystatic. Content lives in Markdown and MDX files in Git, with no database.
