-      <h2>TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY</h2>
+      <h2>DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY</h2>
       <p>
-        I value <b>simplicity, ownership, and efficiency</b>. My preference for
-        languages like C and Go stems from a desire to understand the hardware
-        beneath the code. I apply this logic to my homelab, where I prioritize
-        self-hosting over third-party dependencies. This is why I prefer ssh to
-        my home server over GitHub and strive to minimize dependencies in my own
-        code.
+        I believe in <b>Deep Ownership</b>. Beyond writing code, I strive to
+        understand the entire delivery chain—from database commit logs and
+        memory management to final binary deployment. I am guided by:
       </p>
+      <ul>
+        <li>
+          <b>Intentional Tooling:</b> I choose stacks based on problem-solving
+          efficiency rather than industry trends. This pragmatic approach
+          ensures the right tool is used for the specific performance
+          requirements of the task.
+        </li>
+        <li>
+          <b>Minimalism:</b> I prioritize low dependency counts to reduce attack
+          surfaces, minimize maintenance debt, and ensure lightning-fast
+          execution—whether in a systems binary or a browser-based UI.
+        </li>
+        <li>
+          <b>Transparency:</b> I value understanding the abstractions I use. My
+          experience with systems-level languages (C, Go, Rust) provides me with
+          a unique perspective on optimizing high-level applications and
+          debugging complex performance bottlenecks.
