A Personal Website Is More Than a Résumé Online—it’s a Living Archive

Why start now?

I did not start building a personal website because I already had a perfect portfolio. Quite the opposite: I wanted a place of my own where I could bring together what I am learning, what I have made, and what I am still figuring out.

Social platforms are useful for sharing and conversation, but ideas can end up scattered across different places. A home of my own gives me room to connect the dots over time: what I care about, what I have worked on, and how those things relate to one another.

A second résumé, but more than a list of roles

I want this site to be a kind of second résumé, not a paper résumé copied onto the web. It is more like a map that can keep expanding—showing how law, teaching, AI, products, and design move from separate interests toward practical work.

For someone arriving here for the first time, I hope the site can gradually answer a few simple questions: Who am I? What am I working on? And why are these things worth continuing?

Let the site grow with its maker

I did not want to wait until I felt “good enough” or had accumulated enough material. Putting real projects, methods I have developed, and considered ideas on the page—and updating them as I learn and practice—is itself a way of keeping a record.

The site does not need to be complete all at once. What matters is continuing to organize it, being honest about what I know, and resisting the temptation to invent experience just to make it look fuller.
