Why this blog exists

I'm a Manufacturing/Process Engineer working PCBA in Dallas. Most of my interesting work — BOM normalization at twenty-thousand-component scale, AOI defect telemetry, SMT rotation validation, AI-assisted development workflows — happens inside a project called Assembly-Hub. It started as an Excel macro and grew into a full-stack edge MES that runs on the factory floor. A second strand lives in flying-probe-copilot, my first AI-native project, where I worked out the workflow discipline I now reuse on everything else.

This blog is the public version of that work. Each essay starts with a real story from one of those projects: a bug I caught, a trade-off I made, an architecture I had to defend. I write them by hand. The publishing pipeline — research, MDX rendering, hero-image generation — is AI-assisted, but the structure, the receipts, and the opinions are mine.

What you'll find here

The tech stack

This portfolio runs on Next.js 16 with React 19 and Tailwind CSS v4. MDX posts are rendered server-side using next-mdx-remote with:

  • remark-gfm for tables and task lists
  • rehype-pretty-code + shiki for syntax-highlighted code blocks
  • rehype-slug + rehype-autolink-headings for anchored section links
const client = new Anthropic();
 
const message = await client.messages.create({
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, world!" }],
});
 
console.log(message.content[0].text);
