I work across cloud platforms, security, and engineering leadership.This is where I write about that work, along with the software and hardware I build at home.
Not Everything Needs Automation
Why DevOps teams should compare the total cost of automation with the cost of leaving a process manual.
Projects
Hoppsicle
A Raspberry Pi and Rust-powered cooling controller for the rabbits: sensors, water flow, peltier modules, relays, and a small touchscreen dashboard.
Aidesmith
A native Mac workflow for AI coding experiments: cloud planning, local edit loops, visible tasks, validation, quota tracking, and checkpoints.
