A self-portrait,
in the margins.
I build
useful things.
Useful to someone.
Usually me, at first. Draft Canvas for a diagram to explain. Vortex for a service to test. Scuttle for a computer to clean.
I care about how
the pieces fit.
The pieces matter.
Mostly Java and Spring Boot, with AWS and Kubernetes in the mix. A fair amount of asking, “What happens if this breaks?”
And yes,
there are noodles.
Also part of the picture.
Games. Podcasts. One more Reddit thread. Sometimes Steam “for a few minutes.” That remains an unreliable estimate.
