Blog

My blog on web development, AI, digital practice and everything that keeps me building for the web — from more than two decades of experience.

This is where I write about what I run into in everyday web work — technology, AI, tools and methods. The topics will broaden over time; it starts with a series on SEO and GEO. Below you'll find all posts, newest first.
