Why this space exists
The Privacy is a personal site for writing about software, architecture decisions, and privacy-first product work. I wanted a place that feels calm, fast, and easy to maintain without a heavy CMS.
Editorial focus
You can expect practical notes from real projects:
- SvelteKit and static publishing workflows
- API design with clear boundaries
- UX choices that improve trust and safety
- operational lessons from shipping with small teams
Historical anchors
Privacy engineering is not abstract to me. It is shaped by real incidents and legal shifts:
- 2013: Snowden disclosures changed the public conversation around surveillance
- 2018: Cambridge Analytica showed how platform data misuse can reshape politics
- 2020: Schrems II redefined cross-border transfer assumptions for many teams
Publishing workflow
Each post starts as a markdown file with frontmatter (title, excerpt, date).
The site reads those files during build, generates routes, and ships static output.
That means the deploy flow is simple: update content, run bun run build, publish the build directory.
