A working journal of software engineering, AI tooling, and the craft of building things that last.
.NET, C#, Blazor, ASP.NET Core, EF Core — production engineering on the .NET stack.
Cross-platform mobile, Dart, widgets, performance, and shipping apps to iOS and Android.
LLMs, agents, MCP, RAG, fine-tuning, and the new shape of software work.
Cloud, Docker, CI/CD, edge, static sites, and the actual cost of running things.
AI Tech
A working engineer's guide to building a custom AI skill for your codebase in 37 lines of code — the skill reviews a git diff and returns a structured critique covering bugs, security, style, and performance.
A working engineer's guide to self-hosting a static site on a $4 VPS in 2026 — Caddy, Cloudflare, automated deploys, and the engineering practices that make a small site fast, reliable, and cheap to run.
A working engineer's guide to Minimal APIs in .NET 9 — when the endpoint-as-a-function model beats controllers, when it does not, and the small set of conventions that make a Minimal API codebase feel like one.
A working engineer's guide to calling Rust from Flutter in 2026 — FFI, flutter_rust_bridge, the cases where the pairing wins, and the cases where you should reach for something simpler instead.
A working engineer's guide to vector databases in mid-2026 — embeddings, ANN indexes, the choices that matter in production, and when you do not need a vector DB at all.
A working engineer's defense of using Postgres for async work in 2026 — the operational story, the at-least-once delivery pattern, and the surprising places where a dedicated broker is the wrong answer.
A working engineer's guide to edge compute in mid-2026 — what the edge is good for, where the regional cloud still wins, and the engineering practices that make edge functions feel right in production.
