I grew up curious before I grew up confident.
Computers arrived in my life in '93, and they stayed. Not as magic, but as companions. They listened when I experimented. They reacted honestly. They never pretended.
Over time, curiosity turned into skill. Skill turned into work. Work turned into responsibility.
Somewhere along the way, the joy got quieter - not lost, just buried under deadlines, frameworks, meetings, and the performance of certainty. I learned how to deliver, how to explain, how to make systems behave. But I missed the feeling of building because something inside me asked why.
This repository is me returning to that question.
It’s not meant to impress. It’s meant to reflect.
Every line here carries years of small lessons:
- that simplicity is harder than cleverness
- that clarity beats control
- that tools should disappear once they’ve done their job
This is not the beginning of my journey. It’s a checkpoint.
A place where past curiosity meets present capability. Where I build slowly, deliberately, and honestly - the way I wanted to when I was younger, and the way I still do when no one is watching.
If you’re reading this, you’re welcome to explore. If you find something useful, take it. If you see a better way, I’d like to learn.
This code is just the surface. The real project is continuity.
