Hello World — Building in Public

This is the first post on the new portfolio blog. I'll be writing about:

• Model & tool drops — quick takes on new AI models, SDKs, and dev tools I'm trying
• Repo notes — deep dives into specific projects, architecture decisions, and lessons learned
• Field notes — general dev log entries, workflows, and experiments
• Article reactions — commentary on papers, blog posts, and talks I find interesting

Why a blog?

Building in public forces clarity. Writing about a system means you actually have to understand it.

Stack

This blog is rendered from MDX — each post is a .mdx file in src/content/blog/. The pipeline uses:

• @next/mdx + @mdx-js/loader for compilation
• gray-matter for frontmatter parsing
• Zod for schema validation

Code blocks look like this:

def greet(name: str) -> str:
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

More soon.
