On Digital Wandering

This is meant to be a website one can browse, not really a blog. Remember those?

The web has become a dopamine-optimized nightmare of infinite scroll and algorithmic rage-farming. We've traded actual discovery for the digital equivalent of slot machines that occasionally dispense cat videos. Your attention is being pimped out.

The web started as something weird. Every page was a potential adventure full of hyperlinks able to send you down rabbit holes. With this site, I want to allow you to feel like Alice again. I won't try to optimize for engagement metrics. Just a bunch of pages about stuff I find interesting, organized like a human might organize them instead of trying to farm your brain for dopamine.

Browse it like you're exploring a new city and get lost.

The internet doesn't have to be a psychological warfare experiment. Sometimes it can just be a place where people put interesting things.

What You'll Find Here

• comp/ - Programming languages, Linux, tools, and the art of making computers do things
• hw/ - Embedded systems, IoT devices, robotics, and the satisfying click of real switches
• energy/ - Solar panels, batteries, and the physics of keeping the lights on
• projects/ - Things I'm building, breaking, and occasionally fixing
• misc/ - Digital archaeology, random thoughts, and the uncategorizable

The Early 2000s Called

They want their website aesthetic back, and honestly, they can't have it. This site proudly embraces:

• Static HTML that loads instantly
• Hierarchical organization that makes sense
• No tracking, no analytics, no "optimization"
• Content that doesn't expire next week
• The radical idea that websites can be tools for thinking

Built with nanoc.

About Me

I'm an engineer with an MSc in Microengineering from EPFL. I work with embedded systems, write code in languages both sensible and questionable, and believe that the best technology is the kind you forget you're using.

When I'm not debugging why my IoT device is trying to mine Bitcoin, you might find me optimizing solar panel angles or wondering why we put WiFi in everything.
