Initializing . . .

Software engineer based in the Bay Area.
I build things, host things, break things, and sometimes
stay up too late staring at the night sky.

Software Engineering
Crafting reliable, elegant systems. Obsessed with clean abstractions, good APIs, and software that doesn't get in your way.
Astronomy
The universe is 13.8 billion years old and I find that deeply humbling. Deep sky objects, planetary transits, the occasional meteor shower.
Self-Hosting
Running a homelab because the cloud is just someone else's computer. Proxmox, Docker, and a suspicious number of Raspberry Pis.
Open Source
Believer in the open internet. Contributing where I can, learning from what others build, and keeping dependencies auditable.
Gaming
A good game is interactive fiction, puzzle design, and systems thinking all at once. Currently exploring indie titles and the occasional sprawling RPG.
// about
I'm a software engineer living in the Bay Area with a habit of running too many services on too little hardware. When I'm not writing code or tinkering with my homelab, I'm outside trying to find a dark enough sky to see the Milky Way — or failing that, reading about it. I care about open source software, privacy, and tools that respect the people who use them.
