About

I'm a systems engineer who spends most of the work week on distributed systems, Linux networking, and the long tail of issues that only show up under load. I live in the Northeast and work remotely for a software company you've probably heard of.

This site is where I keep the notes I'd otherwise retype into a chat window every six months: self-hosting decisions, networking write-ups, and the occasional war story from a 4am incident.

About this site

It's a small set of static HTML files served directly by Caddy, with automatic TLS via Let's Encrypt. No trackers, no JavaScript frameworks, no comments section. If you want to say something, email is the way.

Contact

You can reach me at admin@jgw.xixiha.uk. I read everything; I reply when the mail deserves it and I have the time.
