Engineering notes, written down.
Working references I keep open while building. Currently the HTML Email Playbook is live — a deep guide to building emails that survive Gmail, Outlook, and dark mode. More guides land as I write them.

Angular, design systems, and tooling notes are being written. They’ll land here as they’re ready — no placeholders until there’s something worth reading.

About
What this is
These are working notes, not a tutorial blog. Production-oriented, opinionated where it matters, brief where it doesn’t. The shape of this hub follows the work, not the other way around.
