I’m Amer Khalid, software engineer, photographer, dad of two boys, and builder of things.

By day, I write code. Most of my non-working hours are spent on raising my two boys and really boring chores. Adulting is not for me, but I try.

If I get a chance, I shoot portraits & underwater portraits. One day I hope to make a full-time living from art, writing, and portraits.

This blog is my lab. It’s where I think out loud about art, technology, fatherhood, photography, and the entrepreneurial journey. Some posts are polished essays; others are raw notes.

What to expect

  • Tech & AI: Software engineering, AI experiments, tools I’m building
  • Fatherhood: Stories and reflections on raising kids
  • Photography: The art, the business, and where it intersects with tech
  • Travel: Photo essays from trips and adventures
  • Building things: Projects, entrepreneurial lessons, behind-the-scenes
  • Words & art: Essays, short fiction, poetry, and reviews of what I read, watch, and play
