Currently being written

FYI

The Damtowise blog: field notes on backend engineering and automation, written up as I build rather than after the fact.

Nothing is published yet. The first posts are being written now, and this page will list them as soon as they're live.

What FYI will cover

The same stack as the portfolio above, explained from the decisions rather than the tutorials.

  • API design

    REST and OpenAPI contracts, versioning, pagination, and the error shapes that keep clients from breaking.

  • Node.js services

    Streaming, queues, backpressure and the observability work that decides whether a service survives production traffic.

  • n8n automation

    Treating workflows as production code — versioned, retried, observable — instead of one-off glue.

  • TypeScript practice

    Strictness, generics and the type-level techniques that catch real bugs before they reach a runtime.
