Building in public, mostly from a terminal β€” and writing about what breaks.

These days that's mostly Rust, Python and TypeScript, pointed at backend and p2p networking internals. Currently working on my Advance Backend skills and knowledge, building projects and turning ideas into products.

Offline I'm usually reading something that was never on a syllabus β€” philosophy, mostly β€” or poking at a language I have no real reason to learn.

Trying to build systems that give me an edge in my own skills and daily work. Reading books and digging at the why behind the concepts, not just the how.
