Projects
I like projects where the abstraction eventually has to touch the real machine: networks, filesystems, kernels, cloud services, and deployment pipelines.
This page is the index of that work. Some of it is polished, some of it is exploratory, but the useful thread is the same: build the thing, understand where it breaks, then write down the engineering trade-offs.
Active Work
Drezze
Drezze is a free macOS disk cleaner that helps you find storage-heavy files and reclaim disk space through a focused, easy-to-review cleanup workflow.
SolvePao
SolvePao is the main product/project thread I keep separate from the blog. It is where product thinking, practical software delivery, and small-system architecture meet.
Hackathons and Build Logs
Hackathons are useful because they compress product scope, team coordination, infrastructure decisions, and demo pressure into a tiny window. You learn very quickly which parts of your architecture are real and which parts are just diagrams.
