Beyond the résumé
Life
You learn more about an engineer from how they spend a Saturday than from their tech stack.

🍜
Cooking
Mostly Vietnamese food. Making phở taught me more about patience than any codebase — you cannot rush the broth.
📷
Film photography
An old Canon AE-1 and 36 frames at a time. The limit is the point: when every shot costs something, you look first.
🏃
Running
Half marathon done, full one pending. Long runs are where I debug things I couldn't solve at the desk.
🎒
Travel
Three countries lived in. I collect train rides and neighbourhood markets rather than landmarks.
📚
Reading
Design and systems thinking, plus the occasional novel to remember that people are not state machines.
🎹
Piano
Self-taught and permanently intermediate. Entirely for me, which is exactly why I've kept it up.

Passive tracking
Notices which app and project you're in and stitches it into sessions automatically. Nothing to remember.

Local-first, always
Everything lives in a SQLite file on your disk. No account, no telemetry, no network calls by default.

Genuinely lightweight
A Rust core in a Tauri shell: about 12 MB installed and under 1% CPU while idle.
