Systems, Documents, and Design
I work with infrastructure, buildings, publishing systems, and practical computing.
Most of my professional work is concerned with keeping complex places working: technology, buildings, services, safety, systems, and the quiet operational layer that allows people to get on with their real work. This site is the more personal side of those interests: a place for notes on tools, documents, private infrastructure, static publishing, terminal workflows, and the long-term care of information.
I am interested in systems that are simple enough to understand, robust enough to keep, and pleasant enough to use every day. That usually means plain text, static sites, good typography, version-controlled documents, and tools that do not demand constant attention.
This site is deliberately low-key: closer to a working notebook than a portfolio or feed. It is partly public record, partly technical reference and partly colophon for the systems I use to write, publish, and organise things.
