Uses

What I build with, and what runs this site. A quiet trust signal for other engineers.

This site

  • Next.js (App Router), mostly server-rendered with small interactive islands.
  • MDX content via next-mdx-remote; frontmatter via gray-matter.
  • Hand-rolled design tokens — Inter + IBM Plex Mono, one phosphor-green accent.
  • Deployed on Vercel.

Editor & tooling

  • VS Code, with a terminal always open — PowerShell and Git Bash on Windows 11.
  • Python for harnesses and automation, TypeScript for the web, Rust for the systems work (Verderer's Merkle log and WASM verifier), shell for the glue.
  • SystemVerilog + UVM in the EDA years — the coverage discipline outlived the language change.
  • Claude Code as a daily pair — its diffs clear the same gates as mine: typecheck, tests, review. The thesis applies at home.
