Why I’m Starting This Blog

Welcome to my blog! I’ve decided to start this space as a way to document my journey as a software engineer — not just to share insights, but to help me grow through consistent reflection and learning.

The Why

Over the years, I’ve realized how often I revisit old problems, reread documentation, or retrace steps to solutions I’ve encountered before. I’ve kept notes in various places — code comments, notebooks, scattered markdown files — but nothing cohesive or searchable. This blog is my attempt to centralize that effort.

Primarily, this blog is for me. It’s a place to:

• Capture and consolidate what I’m learning
• Reflect on decisions, successes, and mistakes
• Revisit complex ideas with clearer understanding over time
• Create a reference I can return to when I need a refresher

But I’m also sharing this publicly because I believe in the power of learning in the open. If something I write ends up helping someone else — whether it’s understanding a concept, debugging an issue, or just feeling less alone in their learning process — that’s a meaningful bonus.

What to Expect

This won’t be a polished collection of tutorials (though some might become that). Instead, expect:

• Technical deep dives into tools and frameworks I’m using
• Step-by-step breakdowns of problems I’m solving
• Notes on decisions I make and why I made them
• Occasional reflections on growth, productivity, and career

Writing to Learn

They say you don’t truly understand something until you can explain it simply. This blog is part of my effort to do exactly that — to transform fleeting “aha!” moments into lasting understanding through writing.

Thanks for reading. If you stumble across this and find it useful (or want to share your perspective), feel free to reach out. Here’s to learning out loud.
