I am Chris Sadler, a senior backend developer at Toru Digital. I live in Northampton. Most of my time goes on services, tooling, and notes about building software.

## Practice

I like software with a small surface area. One obvious path. Honest status. Enough restraint that the important parts stay visible.

This site is for selected work, field notes, and the practical lessons that disappear if they are not written down.

## Focus

- Backend systems with clear ownership and boring defaults
- Developer tooling that reduces friction without adding theatre
- Interfaces that explain state, not just offer controls

## Currently

- Work: senior backend developer at Toru Digital
- Here: this index for projects and notes
- Elsewhere: side projects, reading, and the occasional public note
