Welcome to ReallySimple.io

Tagline: A really simple blog

I’m Cal, the creator of this space where technology meets simplicity.

About Me

Through b-school, I accidentally found a passion for technology. I’ve cultivated expertise in business, technology, and consulting. Most of my time is focused on project and product management, business tools, ERPs, and the fresh produce and food industries.

This blog is my canvas for documenting experiments and workflows with new technologies. It serves as a personal log and a resource for others navigating similar paths. Inspired by SimonW’s insights on blogging as a productivity tool, I decided to bring this project to life. Special thanks to the Zola project for their straightforward static site generator and to Daudix for the duckquill theme. I also borrowed his ASCII duck idea and modified it to match my personal owl branding!

Explore, learn, and enjoy the simplicity of technology with me.
