A Fresh Start


Hello, world.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

For years, I’ve enjoyed exploring technology, photography, books, self-hosting, automation, and countless side projects. Along the way I’ve accumulated notes, experiments, solutions to problems, and plenty of things worth documenting. Rather than letting them disappear into folders and bookmarks, I decided to create a place to share them.

This blog is built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages. I wanted something simple, fast, and easy to maintain—something that would let me focus on writing rather than managing infrastructure.

The site is based on a repository created by Fareed Zakaria, which I have modified and adapted for my own use. Many thanks to Fareed for making the project available and providing a solid foundation to build upon.

The minimalist design is also heavily inspired by Drew DeVault’s blog and his advocacy for independent blogging. His writing helped convince me that a personal website doesn’t need to be complicated to be useful.

While this site started from existing work, I’ve customized it to suit my own preferences and will continue improving it as I learn more.

You can find the source code for my version of the site on GitHub.

Thanks for stopping by.
