📍 vancouver, bc A tech professional, parent, and serial rebuilder of perfectly functional things.
This site has been my online home since 2000 — which makes me older than dirt itself.
I write about technology, parenting, productivity, and my well-documented tendency to over-engineer everything. By day I work in tech — a long career somewhere between DevOps, infrastructure, and "can you take a look at this?" By night and weekend, I tinker: a homelab nobody asked for, a money system only I understand, and the occasional EV road trip planned with the enthusiasm of a man who really loves a spreadsheet.
The writing here is honest, occasionally funny, and frequently about lessons learned the hard way. You'll find earnest reflection sitting right next to a dry punchline. My wife questions most of these life choices and she's usually right.
If something on this site looks broken, there's a good chance I "improved" it last weekend. This is my playground. Damnit.
Where I tend to wander
// the recurring obsessions, roughly
Rebuilding this very website (again), teaching an AI my weird little money system, and pretending I'll finally finish the "Building with AI" series before the year ends.
