I’m Amer Khalid, software engineer, photographer, dad of two boys, and still figuring out life.

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 mostly for me. I write. Writing helps straighten my thoughts. Now I also write for my boys. Maybe one day they will read it and find it useful.

I use AI to review and clean up my posts too. Sometimes I give it just a few broken sentences and it writes a polished post. As long as it says the same thing I want to say, I don’t worry too much about it.

What to expect

  • Tech & AI: Software engineering, AI experiments, tools I’m building
  • Fatherhood: Stories and reflections on raising kids
