The goblin behind the keyboard
Hey — I'm Harvey. I'm a technical architect based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (UTC+7).
I treat technology like a playground, not a museum. I build things, break them on purpose to understand how they actually work, learn what went wrong, then rebuild them better. Then I get bored and move on to the next shiny thing.
Hence: TechGoblin. A creature that explores, fails, destroys, and rebuilds. Not despite the chaos — because of it.
I don't do polished case studies. This site is my raw engineering journal — honest notes on what worked, what exploded, and what I'd do differently.
