Programming challenges, experiments, and build notes behind short videos.

Every developer blog starts with a "Hello World" post. It's basically a law of the internet -- right up there with "never read the comments" and "the real bug was the friends we made along the way."
So here we are. Welcome to Gapchix -- my little corner of the internet where I write about code, break things in production (on purpose, I swear), and occasionally share something useful.
I'm a developer who's passionate about building things that actually work -- and sometimes things that spectacularly don't. I work across the full stack, from pixel-pushing on the frontend to wrangling containers and databases on the backend. If it involves code, there's a good chance I've either built it, broken it, or both.
My current obsessions include:
This blog will cover a mix of topics:
Because what's a dev blog without a meta-post about the blog itself?
This site is built with Next.js and Chakra UI, powered by a Strapi CMS backend. The whole thing runs in Docker containers because I like my deployments like I like my code -- isolated and reproducible.
Fun fact: this very post was created via the Strapi API using Claude Code (an AI coding assistant) running in my terminal. The robots are already here, and they're writing blog posts. But don't worry -- I still review everything before hitting publish. Mostly.
If you're into web development, AI, game dev, or just want to watch someone wrestle with CSS at 2 AM, you're in the right place. Stick around -- it's going to be fun.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go fix a bug that definitely wasn't caused by the last thing I deployed.
