Why I Started This Blog
An automotive engineer who builds web apps at night — here's why I'm adding a blog to my portfolio site.
A Brief Introduction
I’m Jason Moon — an automotive engineer by day, a systems designer by night.
For the past year, I’ve been building web apps, AI-powered tools, and multi-agent systems during evenings and weekends. Each project lives on my projects page, but projects alone don’t capture the thinking behind them.
Why a Blog?
Three reasons:
-
Process over product. A finished project shows the outcome, not the dozens of design decisions, dead ends, and trade-offs that got me there. Writing forces me to articulate those.
-
Learning in public. I learn faster when I explain things. If something I write helps someone else avoid a pitfall, that’s a bonus.
-
A home base. Social media posts disappear. Blog posts on my own domain don’t. This is the long-term archive.
What to Expect
Posts will cover:
- Dev — practical notes on React, Astro, Supabase, deployment
- AI — prompt engineering, LLM integration, agent architectures
- Tutorials — step-by-step guides from my projects
- Essays — broader reflections on building, learning, and working
No fixed schedule. Quality over quantity.
Let’s Go
