Welcome to my personal homepage, as the header suggests, this is really just a culmination of various aspects of my life, some things I am proud of, others not as much. It’s a blog, WIP, and an uncultivated digital garden of snippets, interesting links, pictures, things that have inspired me, hobbies, projects, key moments, travel, work, and nostalgic lists of material, and immaterial things that have made me who I am.
Bookmark: Fault tolerance at its best …
Fun read: To take humans back to the Moon, NASA has engineered a “fail-silent” architecture that handles everything from cosmic-ray bit flips to total processor divergence.

Bookmark: App Infrastructure which resonates with me …
Here is a blog I recently read which really resonated with me and I have believe in since I started building small companies/apps:

The only small piece I disagree/differentiate on is around the DB component. I am still quite sold on running a SaaS Postgres instance decoupled from the other infrastructure components.
Travel: ATL for 2026 Big South
Another long weekend visit to Atlanta, GA for the 2026 edition of Big South volleyball for the kids.
And another 3 days of hectic, non-stop action, since both of them were in different playing waves (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) but that let us equally watch both teams navigate their way through their respective pools. 1,500 Teams + 10 – 12 Players Per team = ~ 15,000 Athletes + Family = 40 – 50,000 People = One of the largest junior VB events in the US!
Sunday (Day 3) was particularly busy, since they both played at similar times but in completely different halls (+- 25 mins of solid walking between the two) this meant hustling from one side to the other.

90’s No Fear
I was recently fed a pretty nostalgic video on Youtube about No Fear, its history – and the rise and fall of the company in the 90’s. It was a brand I really resonated with. I had a bunch of the all black posters on my walls and although I wasn’t particularly extreme, a lot of the sports and interests I had were.
Bodyboarding, Motocross, Skateboarding were not the type of sports on the list to pick from at Selborne College. The brand resonated with me because it was edgy, a little off beat and had some rebellion in it – When looking back the slogans do have a touch of “cliche” or cheese in them, but they made the 13 year old me think long and hard about life, and any distraction from school work was easy to justify 🙂
After watching the documentary I spent some time scouring the web and found a few of the posters/slogans which I remembered. Fun times.
Maurits Cornelis Escher
One of my favorite artists and mathematicians … When I was 12 or 13, I came across one of his books in the Stirling Primary library. The cover was intriguing and images such as the ones below, really caught my attention. The realism, perspective and the unique perspectives had my attention for quite a few years until I started to shift towards futurism and interest in virtual reality.
I also admired his monogram – MCE and strangely enough have addressed birthday cards this way ever since learning about his art.
OpenClaw ..
Friends keep asking if they should spin up their own OpenClaw instance. My qualifier is simple .. were you a PC or console gamer growing up? If you have to ask, you already know the answer.
Comfort breeds complacency…
Nothing more.
