About Me

๐Ÿ“ท

Hello! I'm the person behind xai.world. I'm passionate about music, nature, and building things on the web. When I'm not playing brass instruments or bagpipes, you'll find me in the garden or tinkering with a new project.

This site is my home on the internet โ€” a hub connecting all the different worlds I inhabit. Each subdomain is a universe of its own. Feel free to explore!

Q&A

Things people ask me.

How did you get into playing brass instruments?

I picked up the trumpet in school and never looked back. There's something about the resonance of brass that just speaks to me. Over the years I've expanded to other instruments in the family.

What do you grow in your garden?

A mix of vegetables, herbs, and native flowers. I'm especially into tomatoes, basil, and pollinator-friendly plants. The garden changes every season โ€” check gardening.xai.world for updates.

Bagpipes โ€” really?

Really! The Great Highland Bagpipe is an incredible instrument once you get past the learning curve. I play with a local pipe band and occasionally at events. It's loud, it's proud, and it's a lot of fun.

What tech stack do you use for these sites?

This main page is plain HTML and CSS hosted on Render. The subdomains vary โ€” some are static, some use lightweight frameworks. I believe in keeping things simple until complexity is actually needed.

Can I reach out to you?

Sure! The best way is through my Instagram DMs or by opening an issue on the GitHub repo.
