About
Friends, university boredom, and a pact to keep showing up.
Project Banana Cake began as a small idea among friends who wanted more than just coasting through semesters. We were looking for a simple way to stay accountable, something that would push us to keep learning, try things (even when they get messy), and share what we discover with anyone who might find it helpful.
We became friends at university, and somewhere between lectures and deadlines we kept coming back to the same feeling: we had plenty of curiosity, but no real structure. It was easy to talk about side projects without ever finishing them, or to learn something on our own and forget it a week later.
So we set a simple rule: make the work visible. Not for likes or an audience, but so we could nudge each other, ask questions, and celebrate small wins. That bit of shared accountability made a bigger difference than we expected.
From the start, what we really wanted was to learn something useful, try it out in a small experiment, and write it down clearly enough that the next person does not have to figure it out all over again.
This site is where that habit lives. A collection of notes from the things we build, test, and sometimes break along the way. If anything here saves you time or sparks an idea, then it is doing exactly what we hoped it would.

Different strengths, one shared stubbornness about learning.

I'm someone who genuinely loves a good hard problem, especially when it involves figuring out how a system fits together. What draws me in is not just making something work, but understanding why it works and what happens when it grows.

I swap my interests and projects out like my breath. In and out.

Growing up learning many things, I quickly found a love in learning implementations of things deeply to an unnecessary level. I for some reason have a deep love in ricing Linux distros as well. Arch FTW.
