A Fresh Coat of Paint

It’s been a bit since since I last wrote, not for lack of projects or tinkering but much has changed for me since early 2023. I’m using this opportunity to do a bit of a cleanup and change how the site works to free up my infrastructure for other projects.

TLDR since Q1 2023:

• I moved and didn’t re-setup the lab
• AI became a thing
• Started two new positions (joined RS in Feb 2023, it closed its doors Q1 2026, joined Point immediately after)
• and much more

This site is now running on Hugo, a static site generator which takes .md files and converts them into the flat html/css structure you see (+ my custom theme). Instead of hosting an nginx web server on a VM locally and running a reverse proxy in AWS I’ve shifted it to run on Cloudflare workers/pages (with CICD via GitLab, worker auto-builds on main commit). This change saves me cost (-AWS, -VM/container resource usage) and frees my server hardware for other things to come. In the meantime I’ll see if I can clear a backlog of personal projects and other things on my mind.
