Goals
This website is planned as an archival presentation of my entire career. It exists to give me a single, maintainable surface where I can publish work of all kinds—software, systems, art, music, writing, and related efforts—while preserving a long-term public record that I can realistically maintain for the remainder of my career.
I chose an archival structure because of the breadth and evolving nature of the work represented here. Maintaining unique, high-impact or highly customized presentations for every area indefinitely would not be time-viable at scale. A centralized archive provides a stable foundation for organization, discovery, reference, and long-term continuity.
When a project, product, or initiative benefits from a more focused or impactful presentation, it is given its own dedicated site or standalone page without the constraints of archival systems or large-scale databases. These presentations are designed specifically for engagement, while a corresponding record of the work continues to exist here as part of the broader archive.
This approach allows me to balance durable documentation with flexible presentation: a comprehensive central record, supplemented by independent, high-impact sites where appropriate.
Technology
This site is built using a minimal set of simple, proprietary tooling, without reliance on external frameworks. It uses server-side Lydio rendering on demand, generating HTML dynamically rather than serving prewritten templates or static markup.
I deliberately opted out of a traditional CMS and server-side databases. Instead, the site is driven by an offline, file-based archive composed of structured JSON, images, and video. A single build process transforms this source data into the complete payload required to serve the site.
A large portion of the site’s content is article-driven and authored using my Marle system, which produces pure structured JSON rather than HTML. These content artifacts are designed to be durable and portable, allowing them to persist independently of any specific site layout or presentation layer. At runtime, the site primarily loads and renders these JSON content articles directly.
This architecture supports long-term flexibility and large-scale transformation with minimal maintenance overhead. While it requires a custom foundation to manage data transformation and rendering, that tradeoff is intentional and supports the site’s role as a long-term, evolving archive maintained by a single primary developer.
DeepFrame
A shared infrastructure handling authentication, scalability, rich backend UI, and unified middleware for reuse across all studio divisions.
Lydio
A proprietary HTML generation framework serving as a lightweight, hand-optimized alternative to React and similar component-based systems. It allows for direct authoring, rendering, and delivery of structured content.
Marle
A proprietary component-based blog and document generator designed for semantic writing and seamless feature integration.
