I’m Mitch Beaumont. I’m an engineer who’s spent his career building things for the web — from backend systems to frontend interfaces to the infrastructure that connects them.

This site is my lab notebook. It’s where I write about the things I’m learning, testing, and thinking through. The topics tend to cluster around AI, web performance, and systems design, but I follow curiosity wherever it leads. Some posts are short experiments with clear results. Others are longer explorations where I’m still working out what I think.

I believe in building things to understand them, writing things down to remember them, and sharing what I learn because someone else is probably wondering the same thing. If something here is useful to you, that’s the best outcome I could hope for.
