What I do

Mostly I build and run infrastructure: clusters, the pipelines that ship to them, and the monitoring that tells me when it all broke. I automate anything I have to do twice. When a tool I want doesn't exist, I write it.

Clusters

Installing and running Kubernetes and OpenShift, from VMware vSphere and ESXi to storage and networking. Services get packaged as Helm charts that work on both.

Delivery and automation

CI/CD pipelines, container images and registries, and configuration management for the servers underneath.

Self-hosting

Chat, notes, files, secrets and monitoring run in my homelab, because I prefer owning my setup.

Software

From small scripts and bots to desktop and Android apps, usually because something annoyed me.

Projects

The ones you can open and use.

SeamDroid

Your Android phone on a Linux or Windows computer: screen, notifications, clipboard, audio and the camera as a webcam.
