I'm a DevOps and platform engineering leader, thirty years in.
I like doing the whole arc: architect the platform, write the Terraform, present the SOW to the CTO, then ship the product. Most of what I learn ends up either in a tool on this profile or in my knowledge base.
Infrastructure you can't rebuild from a clean checkout isn't infrastructure — it's a liability with a hostname.
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| AIFactory | Spec-driven development for AI agents — a planner → coder → QA pipeline that turns a GitHub issue into a pull request. |
| TFactory | Sister project: autonomous test generation — ingests a spec, generates + sandbox-runs feature & security tests, reports on the PR. |
| skill_pool | The team layer for Claude Code's .claude/ — a self-hosted registry (Rust + Svelte) with retrospective skill capture. |
| SkillAi | Self-hosted AI recruiting platform on Claude + Gemini — multi-format CV parsing, four-dimensional scoring, vector search. |
| nixos_config | My whole machine estate declared in Nix — multi-host flakes, feature flags, Agenix secrets, Home Manager, Stylix theming. |
