Now

A snapshot of what has my attention this month. Not a feed, not a timeline — one page I rewrite when the focus shifts.

Building

• Observatory Design System — tokens, patterns, and material treatment for my own instruments. Shipped to field-data/dist/current/ and consumed by this site as a symlink.
• This site, on Astro + Cloudflare Pages — just migrated off Webflow (April 2026). Pre-launch hygiene in flight: CI quality gate, Dependabot, D1 retention cron, Lighthouse baseline, custom 404.
• Vigil — human factors engineering toolkit. AG Grid, XYFlow, real-time dashboards.
• Lit-Reviewer — systematic literature review tool with relationship graphs.
• Nagame — node-graph analysis and geometric engine for Blender pipelines.

Writing

New posts land in /writing and go out via RSS. I'm trying to write up what I learn from the DS build and the Webflow migration before the lessons go stale.

Not doing

• No social media posting — the work lives here.
• No open-source maintainer duties — DS is published for reference, not community.
• No side-projects outside the four above. The list is full.
