What I'm working on

The site you're reading. Astro, Tailwind v4, Lighthouse 100/100/100/100 on every route. How does a web dev build a site that isn't in service to a marketing department? This is it.

My own Drupal practice, built as the proof it works — a real production site with a client portal, on ddev and Composer. Started mid-2025, shelved, picked back up. The hard part isn't the build; it's finishing mine while the billable versions come first.

The classic design patterns taught through Drupal's actual APIs, for developers who already ship and want the vocabulary to name what they're doing. Manuscript plus runnable examples.

Content modeling, theme planning, deployment — written while the ground shifts under all three. A Quarto manuscript with DDEV code examples. Some of it will land here as posts first.

A handful of small services on hardware I already own. The fixed costs of running them are zero. The reasons to run them are also zero. They run anyway.

A lane-based tug-of-war auto-battler in the Desert Strike lineage, with a deck-building deploy layer over a snail soul-breeding economy. One commit deep; the design doc is longer than the code.

An incremental unfolding game about clamming. Grids, gear upgrades, NIMBY access battles, clam cops. Still mostly the joke at this point.
