Software and systems builder
I build the systems I run.
Self-taught engineer with fifteen years of running operations — agriculture, engineering offices, residential property — and a habit of replacing the manual parts with software. Today that means a self-hosted platform of fourteen applications: one TypeScript monorepo, Postgres behind every app, containers on a single well-kept host, and no piece of it I cannot rebuild from a backup.

Happy to talk about any of this — the platform, the operations work behind it, or a role where both matter. Including the parts that went wrong, which are usually the more interesting half.
