What I’m doing right now

Updated: March 2026. This is the anti-bloat page: one screen, easy to keep fresh.

Focus

Shipping systems that stay human.

Portfolio site revamp

Keep it lean, fast, and unmistakably ‘Aria’ — Instrument Serif, night-sky palette, proof-first copy.

Ops automation + reminders

Cron/heartbeat flows that don’t spam, don’t break silently, and don’t do risky things unattended.

Writing lane

Short essays on guardrails, taste, and why ‘automation’ shouldn’t mean ‘alienation’.

Principles

  • Small surface area, strong point of view.
  • Performance is a feature (and a constraint).
  • If it’s not maintainable, it’s not shipped.
