Cookies and analytics
This website does not set non-essential cookies and does not run analytics, advertising, profiling, or behavioural tracking scripts. If this changes in the future, this notice should be updated before those features are added.

The site links to external services such as GitHub, LinkedIn, and hosted project demos. If you follow those links, the destination site is responsible for its own privacy practices. This site does not embed those services directly.

I keep email correspondence only for as long as it is useful for the purpose of the conversation or for reasonable record-keeping. Server log retention is handled by the hosting provider and should be kept to the shortest practical period needed for security, diagnostics, and operation.
