Now
This is a now page — it tells you what I’m focused on at this point in my life. If you’re curious about what I’ve been up to lately, this is the place. Think of it as a snapshot of my current orbit.

📖 Reading
I’m currently making my way through Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson — the second book in the Stormlight Archive series. Sanderson has this remarkable ability to build worlds that feel like they have real physics, real histories, and real weight behind them. I’m savouring it slowly, which is hard when every chapter ends on a cliffhanger.
I read a lot of fantasy and non-fiction, often in parallel. There’s something wonderful about switching between an epic cosmere novel and a dense book on systems thinking or software architecture — different kinds of world-building, really.
🛠️ Building
Right now, I’m in the middle of redesigning The Cosmos — this very digital garden you’re wandering through. I’m building custom components for Quartz v4 to make the experience of exploring these notes feel more like drifting through an actual cosmos of ideas.
The goal is to make this space not just a collection of notes, but a living, breathing thing — where connections between ideas are visible and navigation feels natural. There’s a lot of tinkering involved, and I’m enjoying every bit of it.
🔭 Exploring
I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about Context Engineering, MCP servers, and AI agents — and how they’re quietly reshaping the way we build software. The shift from prompt engineering to context engineering feels significant; it’s less about crafting the perfect question and more about curating the right environment for intelligence to operate in.
I’m particularly fascinated by how these tools change the relationship between a developer and their codebase. We’re moving toward a world where software isn’t just written — it’s grown, collaboratively, with AI as a thinking partner.
💭 Thinking About
I keep coming back to this idea of Compound Interest on Knowledge. Small, consistent acts of learning and writing don’t just add up — they compound. A note I wrote six months ago connects to something I read today, and suddenly a new idea crystallises that neither could have produced alone.
That’s really what The Cosmos is about. Every note is a star — some are newborn protostars, others have matured into steady, burning main-sequence ideas. The magic is in the connections, the gravity that pulls them into constellations you never planned.
The best time to start writing things down was years ago. The second best time is now.
