Following the nownownow.com convention — this page reflects current focus, not an exhaustive to-do list. If the date at the top is more than about 45 days old, I’ve fallen behind on updates; ping me on LinkedIn.

Writing

Publishing rhythm target: one substantive post every two weeks. The active pillars — Code Quality, Distributed Systems, and Neovim — are where the next few posts will land. See /posts/ for what’s shipped so far.

Building

Active open-source work:

  • Holocron — a single-binary Kafka-style event streaming broker in Go. Pre-alpha; on-disk format and wire protocol will change without notice until the first tagged release.
  • Yoda — a modular Neovim distribution and the family of yoda-* plugins that came out of it.
  • market-bridge and strike-pilot — MCP bridges into the trading platforms I actually use, plus an SPX bias engine that treats “no trade” as a first-class output.
  • go-semantic-release — the Go-native re-implementation of semantic-release that publishes this site.
  • assembly-fundamentals-nasm — a NASM x86 fundamentals repo built around six static archives that call kernel syscalls directly (no libc, System V AMD64 ABI, Linux -errno shape on both macOS and Linux): libsock for Berkeley Sockets — now backing a real TCP echo-server example — plus libio for file I/O and mmap, libresolv for DNS over UDP, libtime for clocks, libproc for process control, and libasm for print/panic primitives. Current focus is composed util helpers (send_all, spawn_wait, monotonic_ms, server_bind_listen) layered on top of the raw syscall wrappers, plus the accompanying constructive example sequence.

Site

The site itself got a substantial personal-brand pass recently: topic-pillar categories, per-post OpenGraph images, cross-links between projects and their deep-dive posts, a /uses/ page, and per-song shareable URLs on the music page with branded OG previews (paste any /music/ song URL into a message and see what I mean).

Also new: a small interactive tool — Dev/QA team load, management view — that models what happens when dev-pointed work is quietly absorbed by QA. Sliders, scenario buttons, dollars labeled as Fermi estimates rather than audits. First of what I’d like to make a habit: self-contained thinking artifacts alongside the writing.

Day job

Still at The Weather Company, SUN QA team — Python backend test automation, QA architecture, and enough software architecture work to keep it honest.

Off-keyboard

Playlist runs continuously at /music/ — around 160 songs and counting. Cooking from scratch when the schedule allows. Following NWSL more closely than is probably healthy, Gotham FC specifically.
