Rebuilding this site, in the open

I rebuilt this site from scratch. The old one did its job for years, but it had drifted into a pile of half-finished ideas. I wanted one cohesive thing that says what I do and gets out of the way.

The stack

Next.js, deployed serverlessly to AWS. Lambda renders the pages and API, S3 holds the static assets, and CloudFront sits in front as the cache and CDN. The infrastructure is code: one SST config describes the whole thing, and a single command stands it up.

CI owns the deploy

There is no "works on my machine" here. Every change goes through a pipeline that lints, builds, and deploys. Staging updates on every merge; production is a deliberate step. The site you are reading was shipped that way.

What comes next

Writing, mostly. Notes on video and streaming, on keeping systems reliable, and on the small decisions that add up to something that stays on air. If that is your world too, say hello.
