For a long time, I’ve felt that a portfolio shouldn’t be a list of tools or a dump of past work.

It should feel alive. It should tell a story.

It should grow with you.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been building my new "digital home" with that idea in mind, as a space that reflects who I am right now: a software engineer, a writer, and someone learning how to build meaningful products in public.

I ended up structuring it as four connected parts, each serving a different purpose.

- The first is the Portfolio itself.

Instead of listing skills, I focus on showing work. Real software I’ve built to solve real problems; from tools for education to systems that simplify workflows for businesses.

- Then there’s the Marketplace.

This is for founders or small businesses who want to move fast. It hosts ready-to-launch digital products that I’ve already built and refined. The first one, CreateShop, is live, a complete e-commerce and management storefront for small businesses. To mark the launch, I’m offering it at 50% off throughout January.

- There’s also "The B Blog", which might be my favorite part of the site.

It’s where I write about the things I care about, conservation, music, technology, and whatever else I’m thinking through at the moment. I also introduced something I call "Readlists", basically playlists, but for articles. The first one, Golden Jukebox, is my attempt to document and explore under-documented old music, especially from Africa.

- Finally, I added a Booking system.

If you’d like to talk or explore working together, you can pick a time that works for you and we’ll take it from there.

This site isn’t perfect, and it’s not “done.”

It’s meant to evolve just like I am.
