A short, current list. This page replaces the old collection of tool recommendations and generic learning links.
Ordered by where most of my attention is going.
Experimenting with practical uses for language models, MCP integrations, context management, and developer tooling. I’m interested in where these systems are genuinely useful, how to make their actions understandable, and where human judgment should remain in control.
Learning Unreal Engine 5 through hands-on projects, including its C++ programming model, Blueprints, gameplay architecture, UI, editor tooling, assets, rendering, and broader engine workflows. I’m approaching it with more than a decade of Unity experience while taking the time to learn Unreal on its own terms.
Continuing to explore small improvements to local workflows, feedback loops, diagnostics, and documentation that compound across a team.
A few ideas I currently find useful.
Diagnostics should explain what the software is doing before the team has to guess.
Builds, tools, and content workflows directly affect what a team is willing to try.
Ownership, permissions, state, and failure modes should be visible in the design.
Profiles, traces, and production evidence are more reliable than intuition.
A personal shortlist of books I recommend.
I enjoy comparing notes about developer tools, engine systems, and practical AI.
