Hey, I'm John

I am a Technical Lead @ Tekly Studio and founder of Ellide.

I build practical AI and platform systems where product, data, cloud infrastructure, and LLM workflows meet. My recent work includes AI-assisted onboarding systems, GitHub Actions governance, GCP-backed data pipelines, OCR-heavy document workflows, and tooling that turns messy operational inputs into reliable software.

Currently:

  • Owning technical delivery for Crypt0nest.io workstreams at Tekly Studio.
  • Building Ellide, an educator-first AI study-material platform for grounded course-document workflows.
  • Deepening Go and Kubernetes fundamentals while preparing for the CKA.
  • Keeping a Linux-heavy workflow across Arch, Ubuntu, KDE, Hyprland, Docker, and self-hosted tooling.

Technical Focus

  • AI Platform / LLMOps: OpenAI, Gemini, OCR workflows, document-to-context pipelines, RAG-style outputs
  • Cloud & DevOps: GCP, Cloud Run, GCS, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Linux, Bash
  • Data & MLOps: Python, Pandas, validation gates, caching layers, point-in-time data pipelines, SHAP, walk-forward validation
  • Backend / Tools: FastAPI, SQL, JavaScript, Java, Go fundamentals, automation scripts, internal tooling

Stack

Python Go Java JavaScript PostgreSQL Google Cloud Docker Terraform Kubernetes Linux Git

Worth Checking if You're Curious

  • boot-progress: DevOps path learning progress from Boot.dev, though, I am mostly focused on Go and practical implementation.
  • Portfolio-SQL-Schema: Very early project of mine, but it has some nice visuals.
