Hello, world

Welcome to my little corner of the web.

I’m primarily an Android / Kotlin Multiplatform developer — I built GitHub-Store, an open-source app store for GitHub releases, and RikkaUi, a shadcn-inspired design system for Jetpack Compose. I’ve mostly lived on the mobile side of the stack; this site is my first serious dive into web development.

Why a personal site

A few reasons:

1. Writing things down. I learn by building, and I want a place to record what I learn — especially the weird Compose gotchas that cost me a whole weekend.
2. A hub. Something to point people to when they ask “what are you working on?”
3. An excuse to play with web tech. Astro, Tailwind, View Transitions — all new toys.

How this blog works

For future me, and for anyone curious:

• Posts live as .md files in src/content/blog/.
• Each post needs frontmatter with a title, date, and optional description and tags.
• Drop a new .md file, push to git, and it shows up. That’s the whole workflow — no CMS, no database, no backend.

More soon. Probably something about Compose state management, because that’s what I’m deep in right now.
