Hi, I'm Tristan.
I write about data, code, and the things I build.
Much of this site was made with generative AI. The ideas and direction are mine, and it is based on my own work; but AI did all the heavy lifting of bringing it together. I have deeply mixed feelings about using tools to create content, and labeling it as my own work. More on that here.
