Outside the Code

Life, sports, travel — the things that shape how I think.

About Me

Climbing, via ferratas, world journeys, sunsets, and the moments that happen away from the screen.

Hobbies // travel · climbing · markets · keyboards

Mechanical keyboards

Mechanical keyboards are a hands-on hobby: each build balances layout, materials, switches, sound, and feel. This is not just a desk accessory; it is a tool tuned around how I think and work.

The speed trial shares that obsession with feedback. The Build Photos explorer documents each keyboard layer by layer, from the case to the switch.
