# About

My official name is Eliot Leu; Yonnia is the name I go by, and the one this site uses throughout. eliotleu.com points here too.

I build software, and I write. Code is how I turn an idea into something usable; writing is how I work out what I am actually doing.

This site is hand-written static HTML. No tracking scripts, no ads, no cookie banner. Loading it takes one HTML file and one stylesheet.

## What I am working on

Mostly my own small tools and products. Nearly all of them started as "I do this every day, why is there no tool for it." The [projects](/en/projects) page has the list.

## What I care about

In engineering: interfaces should be pleasant to use, error messages should be written for humans, and performance problems should be solved while writing the code rather than after something breaks.

Outside of it, the things I actually like are on the [likes](/en/likes) page — music, travel, books, film, and football. They say more about who I am than a tech stack does.
