About this site

View source

This is the 2026 reboot of my personal site. It started when I found an old fork of htmleditor sitting in my GitHub — a page that shows its own source and lets you edit it live. That trick had always stuck with me, so I rebuilt the site around it. The pages are editable: press / to open the code, tweak it, watch it update. The editor on the home page also has an AI prompt built in, because hey, it's 2026 — who still types code by hand?

I learned a lot of what I know by reading other people's code. When I started using the web I spent as much time hitting "view source" as browsing — then came open source, Linux, Ruby on Rails…

Every single web page you visited contained the code showing you how it was created. The entire internet became a library of how-to guides on programming.

Playing with code

The animations beside the text come from my fascination with creative coding. Demos, Processing, John Maeda, Flash-era websites, and FWA: I'd spend hours playing with code just for the pleasure of building something satisfying to watch move.

Later came information design, data visualization, Bret Victor's explorable explanations — code that could teach, tell stories, and help people create. That got me into analytics, observability and the broader dev tools space.

I still build things on the side: tools, apps and interactive explainers, all on Projects.
