About this blog
JBrien’s Tek Blog is a set of field notes on building, learning, and finding out what technology is actually good for.
The posts follow practical experiments across web infrastructure, data engineering, digital ownership, game development, and whatever comes next. Some are tutorials, some are progress logs, and some are simply an honest record of what changed after trying something for real.
This is the reading-focused companion to jbrienweb.dev, my broader personal workbench. The archive began on WordPress and moved here without turning unfinished or private writing into public content.
You can also find my public code on GitHub.
A quiet first release
