• Learning: Computer science fundamentals through Launch School's mastery-based curriculum
• Building: Maintaining production sites (Astro/TypeScript) and client projects
• Exploring: Declarative system configurations with NixOS and functional Nix
• Investigating: WebGL fluid simulations for technical visualizations

nixconfig - Declarative NixOS system configurations

• Thoughtful engineering over quick hacks
• User experience as a first-class concern
• Code quality and maintainability
• Learning deeply rather than collecting frameworks
• Building useful things not AI hype

My contribution graph shows lighter activity during 2023-2024 because I was:

• Enrolled in Launch School's intensive program (500+ hours completed)
• Working in private client repositories
• Deep-diving into NixOS (mostly local configuration work)
• Building foundations through computer science study

My public work represents a fraction of my actual development - quality and learning over GitHub streak metrics.

Remote software development roles where:

• Engineering excellence matters more than shipping fast
• Teams value maintainable, well-tested code
• User experience drives product decisions
• Learning and growth are supported
• AI/ML hype is optional (or absent)

Ideal roles: Frontend, full-stack, or systems-oriented positions at product companies building genuinely useful tools.
