Building, breaking, and brewing my way through web development
Welcome to Syntax & Coffee
This is where I share my journey as a web developer, one project (and one cup) at a time. You’ll find everything from coursework assignments to late-night experiments that may or may not have been fueled by too much caffeine.
I built this site to be more than just a portfolio. Think of it as a mix between a developer’s notebook, a blog about learning curves (the steep kind), and a place to test ideas out loud. If you’re into web design, coding, or just want to see what happens when someone won’t stop tinkering with WordPress, you’re in the right spot.
Here’s a taste of what you can expect:
Hands-on breakdowns of coding projects and tools I’m learning.
Honest reflections on what’s working (and what isn’t).
Tutorials and tips that come from real trial-and-error.
Detours into design, automation, and anything else I can’t resist breaking.
Occasional crash-out. Don’t judge. You’ve been there too…
So grab your favorite drink, scroll around, and enjoy the ride. Who knows — maybe you’ll leave with a new perspective, a fresh idea, or at least a laugh at my debugging stories.
Different websites have different goals, and their designs should reflect that. Here’s how one-page, corporate, e-commerce, and photo sites each stand out, and how to pick the right theme for them.
What happens when we let AI take over the most human role of all: raising children? In this rhetorical essay inspired by anthropologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy’s TED Talk, I explore how technology, empathy, and evolution collide when caregiving becomes a question of code.
Warp isn’t just another terminal. It’s like the command line went to a spa, got an AI sidekick, and came back looking fresh. Between the customizations and the built-in AI that remembers flags better than I ever could, Warp has earned a permanent spot on my dock.
This all started as a fun project to digitize my massive DVD collection. Three weeks later, my media server dreams are buried under firewall configs, cable daisy chains, and a WiFi-starved household. I’m a web developer, not a network engineer – but that didn’t stop me from trying.
