About
Enjoyed computers, the internet, and video games since childhood. My original gateway into programming.
Professionally, six and a half years as a platform engineer in SaaS (DoorDash, Transposit).
Since my last role, I have been using AI and Claude Code to explore self-hosting digital services for my personal use as well as for self-exposure to emerging topics and terminology.

Spare time is spent on Unhinged, a self-hosted toolkit. C daemons including an inference daemon power the backend, a VPS server acts as the edge, and a small website serves as the front for a handful of friends to use.
