Software for
things that actually
have to work.
Full-stack engineer, sixteen years deep in .NET and desktop apps — now building agentic systems where they belong: on the factory floor, in the workshop, on your own machine.
This week: getting Hermes running natively on host01 is done — no more Docker, just systemd. The Qwen3.6 brain's vision is live and holding steady at 34 tok/s. I'm keeping the daily dashboard green while the *arr stack serves the D&D group. On deck: pushing through katakana for Japanese practice, a couple sessions with The Long Rest crew, and cleaning up disk after the mesh sweep reclaimed 147 GB across the fleet.

What I'm focused on this month. Updated as it changes. A snapshot, not a feed.
Hobbies →
3D printers I've modded, smart-home tinkering, a local-AI homelab, and family.
Uses →
Hardware, software, models, filaments. The boring details that take years to settle on.
Contact →
Email, calendar, résumé. The fastest way to reach me. No forms with twelve fields.

Talk to Virtual Me
A bounded career assistant on this site that answers questions about my work — grounded only in what's published here, with hard refusal and redaction bounds, and a backend it can't talk its way around.
Workstation Toolbar
A workstation appbar deployed to ~100 machines plant-wide — inherited from another developer's prototype and rebuilt into a four-tier system in about three weeks.
Cervi
An in-house LLM assistant that guides employees through filing service tickets correctly — running on a CPU-only commodity VM, no GPU, because that's the hardware that was already in the building.
I'm less interested in which framework than in how the pieces integrate — and what that means for the people who keep the line, and the business, moving.
