About

Hey, I am Nicholas Clay

A mechanical engineering student, motorsport enthusiast, and lifelong learner with a curiosity that refuses to stay in one lane.

This site is my corner of the internet - a place where I collect my thoughts, share and my projects, and document the things I'm building and learning along the way. You'll pretty much find a mix of everything here, so i will try my best to keep everything organized. Things like producing my audio motorsport podcast Gradient, world building my sci-fi series Directive 57, writing about my plants and books I've recently read, or blogging about open-source projects, and the importance of self-hosting are just some of the many things you will find on this website.

I started this space beacuse I wanted somewhere to think out loud. To share ideas as they form and evolve as I myself change alongside life's antics. It all lives here as part of the same story: my journey.

If you're into engineering, technology, motorsport, plants, digital minimalism, health, going to aquariums, and all the other randomness, then you are in the right place. Let's make the internet a more geniune place.
