Start Here 👋

Welcome to my digital garden! If you’re new, this guide will help you navigate and get the most from exploring this space.

What is This Place?

This is a digital garden—not a blog. Think of it as:

• 🌱 A growing collection of ideas, notes, and connections
• 🔗 An interconnected web of thoughts (not chronological posts)
• 🚧 A space where notes evolve and improve over time
• 🧪 An experiment in learning and thinking in public

Unlike traditional blogs with polished, finished articles, gardens grow organically. Some notes are seedlings (rough ideas), others are well-established plants (refined concepts).
