A picture showing a mess of childrens toys.

I didn't start this blog to build a brand, chase traffic, or pretend I've cracked life.

I started it because my head gets loud, my life is messy, and writing things down is one of the few ways I might be able to make sense of it all without it leaking sideways into everything else.

Who I Am

I'm Alex. At the moment, I'm a stay at home dad.

My role right now is to hold the fort, the best I can. With the help of my girlfriend, I "manage" the chaos, the routines, the appointments, the emotional weather, and the thousand invisible jobs that keep a household from tipping over.

I used to ship software for a living. That part of me hasn't disappeared.

What I'll Be Writing About

This will be a mix, because my life is a mix.

  • Parenting
  • Work, identity, and what comes next
  • Mental health and rebuilding

Just one person, writing in public, trying to make sense of kids, code, chaos, and home.
