Exploring developer platforms and infrastructure where powerful systems remain explicit, composable, and predictable without increasing cognitive overhead.
Ongoing exploration into explicit system design across web infrastructure and AI ecosystems.
Modern engineering ecosystems increasingly introduce complexity through implicit abstractions and convenience-driven design.
Recurring tensions in modern systems:
Exploring approaches that avoid these tradeoffs.
Systems designed to
An exploration of explicit HTTP abstractions and composable middleware with predictable performance characteristics.
Rust web development often forces tradeoffs between ergonomics and power.
Volga investigates an alternative model where explicit APIs preserve reasoning clarity while lowering adoption barriers.
Part of a broader exploration into explicit infrastructure design.
Model Context Protocol SDK exploring production-grade AI agent infrastructure.
Modern AI tooling frequently optimises for experimentation rather than system design.
Neva explores structured agent architectures with strong typing, explicit runtime behaviour and extremely low overhead.
Extends exploration into explicit system design into AI infrastructure.
Active explorations:
These explorations evolve continuously through engineering-notes.
