Curious about
how things work.
I'm a developer who can't stop asking "why?" — whether it's tracing a TCP packet through the network stack, or understanding how a central bank decision ripples into mortgage rates.
This site is where I think out loud. I write deep-dives on topics I'm learning, and share the projects I build along the way.
Currently based in Wageningen, Netherlands, learning through small software projects and music theory experiments.
