Welcome to the blog.
I’ve been building a lot of things lately — most of them with AI tools in the loop — and I’ve wanted a place to write up the messy, honest progress on each of them rather than just polishing things up for LinkedIn.
This is that place.
What I’ll be writing about
A mix of things, depending on the week:
- AI project logs — step-by-step progress on whatever I’m prototyping, including the parts that break spectacularly
- Tool reviews in practice — how I actually use Claude, Cursor, and others in real workflows, not synthetic benchmarks
- Security x AI — observations from my day job as an Information Security Lead intersecting with the AI tooling wave
- Side builds — small experiments that may or may not turn into anything useful
Why write at all?
Mostly accountability. I find I think more clearly when I write things down, and sharing it publicly adds just enough friction to actually finish a thought before publishing it.
Also, I’ve learned a huge amount from other people’s “build in public” posts and I’d like to contribute back to that pool.
Format
Posts will be short and frequent rather than long and occasional. I’ll aim for a few hundred words, a clear takeaway, and honesty about what I don’t know yet.
If you’ve found this, thanks for reading. More to come shortly.
