System Architecture in Progress

This site documents its own construction. The medium is the message.

Active Threads

Current problems I'm solving. Problems are more interesting than solutions.

THREAD-001 · Started 2026.01.02

Building a self-documenting infrastructure

How do you make technical infrastructure visible and compelling to non-technical visitors?

Hypothesis: Radical transparency creates trust. Showing the scaffolding is more interesting than hiding it.
→ Next: Add real-time status monitoring
THREAD-002 · Started 2026.01.03

Designing for iteration, not perfection

Traditional portfolios are static snapshots. How do you build something that rewards returning visitors?

Hypothesis: Timestamps and version numbers signal momentum. "In progress" beats "complete."
→ Next: Implement changelog feed
THREAD-003 · Started 2026.01.04

Balancing technical depth with accessibility

How do you signal competence without gatekeeping?

Hypothesis: Layer information. Surface level for everyone, depth for those who want it.
→ Next: Add expandable technical details
