I created this blog to monitor my curiosity, writing about concepts that interest me.
I write about personal projects, ideas, and the things I learn along the way. Hand-crafted and LLM-free.
Occasionally, a travel story or food review sneaks in.
If my writing resonates with you, feel free to connect with me at ecdecena [@] gmail.com.
I’m currently based in Cebu City, PH 🏖️.
