Thoughts, ideas, and explorations
A hands-on crash course through React's render engine — Fibers, lanes, the scheduler, hooks, Suspense and server components. 30 concept-first lessons across 10 modules, each backed by the real React source. Free, no login.
A self-paced crash course on reading TypeScript's type language — from annotations and inference to generics and mapped types — with runnable examples and short quizzes. Free, no login, finish it in an afternoon.
The biggest leap in AI coding isn't a better model. It's a better harness.
I like working on things that solve real problems
Got an interesting project, a tricky bug, or an idea worth exploring? I'm always up for a good conversation.
