Welcome 🌿
This is my personal knowledge garden where ideas grow, evolve, and interconnect over time. Unlike a traditional blog, this space embraces the messy, iterative process of learning and building knowledge.

🌱 Seedlings - Early ideas, rough notes, experiments
🌿 Budding - Developing concepts, work in progress
🌳 Evergreen - Mature thoughts (still growing!)
If you’re finding articles that seem “incomplete” or “work in progress” - that’s intentional!
Everything here is a living document, continuously tended and evolved. Feel free to explore any path that interests you - the garden is designed for wandering, not just reading.
This garden grows through:
- Continuous cultivation - Regular updates and refinements
- Learning in public - Sharing the process, not just results
- Contextual exploration - Multiple pathways through the knowledge
- Cross-pollination - Insights from one domain enriching others
