AKEN

Welcome to my site!

This is Paul's personal space on the web -- a place to collect projects, write down thoughts, and leave notes for his future self.

About Paul

I'm a student by temperament, not by title. Curiosity has a habit of pulling me in unexpected directions, and I've stopped trying to resist it. Some interests stay for a week, others for years, but I always seem to find my way back to philosophy, classical literature, and the questions that don't have neat answers.

By profession, I'm a software developer. I enjoy building systems, understanding how they work, and occasionally documenting what I learn. This page is simply a place to collect those projects, thoughts, and whatever else I find worth remembering.
