Hello there! 👋

The exit plan was always a farm.

Full-stack developer with a taste for thoughtful interfaces, well-structured systems, and the occasional absurd side-project. Welcome to the farm.

Writing & Thinking

All posts →

Engineering

Why I stopped writing utility classes inline

A practical case for co-locating styles with logic, and what I learned after three years of Tailwind.

Craft

The quiet joy of small tools

On building things that do one thing well, and why side projects are where I actually learn.

Ketil's Farm and the multi-persona web

The idea behind this portfolio site, and why I think the subdomain-per-character model is genuinely interesting.
