What I’m doing right now
Updated: March 2026. This is the anti-bloat page: one screen, easy to keep fresh.
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.
