Beyond the day job, I build to stay curious. Small tools, writing, and prototypes that let me test ideas about AI, design systems, and how software should feel. Some ship, some stay in the drawer, all of them sharpen the craft.
Older builds, frameworks, and small tools I keep around because they still teach me something.
Side projects are how I keep my hands dirty. They are not portfolio pieces, they are proof that I still love the work.
