Personal

Section titled “Personal”
  • Restructuring how I document the tools I use — moving from flat pages to linkable, atomic notes on this site
  • Maintaining and shipping Breadcrumbs 4.21.10
  • Restarting a bullet journal habit, anchored to my evening shutdown routine
  • Learning fountain pen nib tuning

Career

Section titled “Career”
  • Working through a “build once, promote via gate” pattern for CI/CD, so one artifact moves between environments instead of being rebuilt for each
  • Migrating CI jobs off a legacy queue-based CI system onto GitHub Actions with keyless cloud auth
  • Right-sizing CI worker pools, and re-learning to trace a metric back to its source before trusting what it says
  • Turning a sprawling, seemingly-impossible platform migration into a scoped, tractable program
