A little more about me.

More than one narrow subject

I’ve never thought about technology as one narrow subject. The work that interests me usually sits somewhere between systems, people, processes, and the question of how something can work a little better.

That has taken me through infrastructure and networking, cloud platforms, automation, web technology, open-source projects, and the business systems people depend on every day. I enjoy the technical detail, but I am just as interested in how a system is understood, operated, and improved.

A path across disciplines

My path started with engineering and expanded into systems, networking, infrastructure, cloud, automation, web technology, and business systems. The technologies have changed, but the part I enjoy most has stayed fairly consistent: understanding how the pieces fit together, where they fail, and how to make the result easier to operate and explain.

Independent projects and client work broadened that perspective. They made the connections between technical choices, documentation, business processes, and the experience of the person using the system much harder to ignore—in a useful way.

Evidence before claims

I prefer to understand a system before automating it, make important state and decisions visible, and test recovery—not only installation. Technology should earn its complexity by solving a real requirement, and experiments should stay clearly separated from production evidence.

I also try to document enough for the next person, make failure understandable, and choose maintainable paths over novelty when the novelty does not improve the result.

Curiosity tends to travel

My interests regularly wander beyond whatever I’m working on professionally: AI and privacy, open source, networking and Li-Fi, Raspberry Pi and small hardware projects, cloud systems, web technology, automation, business software, and emerging ideas that raise an interesting technical question.

That curiosity is one reason Writing is intentionally broader than the résumé. I like having a place to investigate something simply because it seems worth understanding.

Why this site exists

This site gives projects, professional work, writing, experiments, and useful things a place to live together—without forcing every idea into a résumé, portfolio card, or social profile.

Some things here are finished projects. Some are technical labs. Some are notes or research. Over time, others may become tools, directories, experiments, or small things that are simply useful to have.
