Why I built this site

I didn’t build this site to look hireable. I built it because I think out loud, and I’d rather do it somewhere that lasts than somewhere that scrolls away.

Most of what I do starts with a question — why this and not that? Why this database, why this pattern, why this way of doing a thing everyone already does. I rarely accept the first answer. So this is the place where those questions, and whatever answers I find, get written down.

There are four kinds of things you’ll find here:

• Tech — how I actually built something, including the parts that went wrong.
• Learning — notes on whatever I’m currently trying to understand.
• Life — short, honest entries. The non-code version of me.
• Civic — ideas and guides for Nepal, because knowing things should help someone.

It will never be “finished.” That’s the point. A garden, not a brochure.
