Hello, world

I've put off building a personal site for years. Every time I sat down to do it, I'd get lost picking a framework instead of writing anything. So this time I kept it deliberately small: a home page, a place for projects, and a place for writing. That's it.

What to expect

I mostly work on backend systems and developer tooling, so expect posts about:

• TypeScript patterns that actually pay off
• Database design and the trade-offs I keep relearning
• Small tools I build to remove friction from my day

A quick taste

Here's the kind of thing I find worth writing down — a tiny helper I reach for constantly:

export function groupBy<T, K extends PropertyKey>(
  items: readonly T[],
  key: (item: T) => K,
): Record<K, T[]> {
  return items.reduce((acc, item) => {
    const k = key(item);
    (acc[k] ??= []).push(item);
    return acc;
  }, {} as Record<K, T[]>);
}

Nothing fancy — but the ??= there saves an if check every single time.

Good writing about code is mostly about deleting the parts that don't matter.

More soon.
