- Hello Typst: Math-Heavy Posts, NativelyWhy I'm adding Typst as a first-class writing format for this blog: beautiful equations without the LaTeX baggage.
- Open Source Photonics: What Contributing to laserfun Taught MeReflections on contributing to open-source scientific Python: code review as peer review, and why physics code deserves tests too.
- Why Silica's Raman Model Fails in ChalcogenidesA short tour of Raman response functions across glass families, and why mid-IR supercontinuum modeling demands material-specific treatment.
- Designing a Zero-Dispersion Point at 4 μm: A WorkflowThe iterative loop of geometry, mode solving, and dispersion fitting behind my mid-IR supercontinuum waveguide designs.
- Is AI gonna replace you?Adopt or be left behind: why the verdict on AI is simple, and what to do about it.
- Self-HostingWhy I bought a domain on my own name, switched to Linux, and started running local AI. The story behind this website.
