Hey!
I build predictable infrastructure that doesn’t wake people up at 3 AM.
I care about systems that remain understandable, reproducible, safe to change, and reliable under real operational load. I’m particularly drawn to Nix and NixOS because deterministic builds and deployments reduce operational stress.
"If you don’t care about quality, you can meet any other requirement."
— Gerald Weinberg
💡 If quality matters to you, I recommend Nathan Sobo’s The Case for Software Craftsmanship in the Era of Vibes . He is CEO and co-founder of Zed Industries.
- Boring systems survive.
- Reproducibility beats "it works here": the same inputs should produce the same results everywhere.
- Good architectural choices eliminate whole classes of failure.
- Code and infrastructure should explain themselves instead of making people guess.
I took a year away from work to travel through New York City and Europe, do Workaway gigs, and spend time with people from very different backgrounds. It was a useful reminder that curiosity, respect, and basic decency travel remarkably well.
I never entirely switched off the engineering brain, though—Nix and NixOS flakes still came along for the ride. ❄️
Outside work, I continue sharpening my technology skills. I read Murakami, Paul Auster, Raymond Carver, and Yuval Noah Harari; enjoy classic cinema and noir; play guitar; and shoot photos with my Nikon.
Hit me up if any of that sounds familiar 🤙
