Hello, world

Why this site exists

After 20+ years in software, I figured it was time to put a stake in the ground. This is my corner of the internet — no algorithms, no engagement bait, just what I’m working on and thinking about.

What you’ll find here

I’ll be writing about:

• Python — the language I’ve used for everything from web apps to ML pipelines
• AI / ML — from single-layer perceptrons to modern transformers, and why understanding both matters
• Open source — projects, contributions, and philosophy
• Linux — my daily driver and tinkering platform
• Hard problems — the kind that don’t have Stack Overflow answers

The name

#! is a shebang — the first two characters of every Python script you’ve ever run. It tells the kernel what interpreter to use. It’s also “sharp” + “bang”, which is just fun to say.

The shebang is where execution begins. This site is no different.
