How I want it to feel. Calm and quick. Pages should open fast and stay out of the way—no pop-ups, no newsletter walls, no unexpected motion. The typography aims for a comfortable line length and steady rhythm so reading feels effortless, even on a small phone late at night. Color is used sparingly, mostly to guide attention; whitespace does the heavy lifting. Interactions are gentle: hover hints, clear affordances, predictable focus states. If you only have a few minutes between tasks, you can still drop in, scan a page, and leave with something useful. If you have an hour, the layout scales with you and invites a deeper read without feeling heavy.

How it’s organized. The home grid is a map, not a maze. Each card opens to a focused deep-dive page with the same simple structure: title, context, body, images, and a small resource panel for links and references. Projects, essays, and Bureau posts all share this schema so I can cross-link related ideas without custom glue every time. Tags connect threads across formats; series collect longer arcs; dates keep the story honest. You’ll find gentle breadcrumbs, related reads at the end, and clear anchors for headings so it’s easy to reference a specific section. The goal is to make discovery obvious and maintenance boring—in the best way.

My workflow. I write in Markdown/MDX because it keeps me close to the text. Drafts often start as short notes or outlines that I push early, then shape over time. When something moves from sketch to substance, I add images, callouts, and citations; when I change my mind, I leave a trace so the reasoning is visible. Small diagrams live alongside paragraphs. Commit messages act like a lab notebook. I try to publish decisions, not just outcomes—what I tried, what broke, what I kept. This pace lets me ship ideas while they’re fresh and come back later to tighten the prose without losing the path I took to get there.

Craft & accessibility. I sweat the basics because they matter every day: consistent headings, real landmarks, strong contrast, generous spacing, and meaningful alt text for images. Pages are light and cache well; images are responsive and lazy-load when they’re actually needed. Keyboard navigation is first-class, focus states are obvious, and motion is minimal (and reducible). If JavaScript is limited, the content still reads cleanly. The site should feel welcoming whether you’re skimming with a trackpad, reading with a screen reader, or printing a long case study to mark up with a pen.

Background. My center of gravity is intelligence work—collecting, structuring, and turning fragments into something a team can act on. I’m drawn to target development: mapping people and organizations, tracing logistics and finance, and producing briefs that hold up under scrutiny. That bias shows up in how I build and write here. I keep sources, citations, and version history close; I document assumptions and alternatives; and I try to make every page a small training rep in tradecraft—state a hypothesis, gather, analyze, reduce to what matters. The tools and projects across this site—graph analysis, threat dashboards, secure comms, disciplined note-taking—are all aimed at the same goal: becoming the kind of intelligence targeter who can find the signal, defend the reasoning, and deliver something useful when time is tight.
