I lead engineering teams and build cloud platforms, distributed services, and developer tools. My public projects span AWS infrastructure, reusable agent workflows, and experiments with local AI and vision models.
Public AWS announcements are matched against configured services and risk phrases, mapped to Slack routes, stored in DynamoDB, and delivered through SQS.

A local development platform for building and testing distributed services with Docker Compose, Kubernetes, messaging, databases, and observability. Relay, a webhook delivery service, is its first application, with more services planned. A separate Terraform workflow supports brief AWS validation runs.

Reusable workflows for Codex and Claude Code, covering project planning, architecture decisions, repository checks, and Git publishing. Each skill packages instructions and supporting tools with explicit verification and permission boundaries.

A local dog-photo investigation prototype experimenting with local vision models and agent-directed tool use. Scout uses Qwen3 to choose investigation steps, while a separate vision model ranks visual breed matches and records evidence for the assessment.

- CliSpecForge: a compact Python reference implementation that turns a Markdown CLI spec into files that can be inspected before guarded writes.
- Compact Theme: a framework-free HTML, CSS, and JavaScript theme used across my GitHub Pages sites.
- Platforms and distributed services: building a shared local platform for multiple applications, with clear service boundaries, observability, and controlled AWS validation.
- Agent-assisted development: creating reusable workflows for planning, architecture decisions, repository checks, and publishing, with explicit permissions and changes checked against specifications and tests.
- Local AI and vision models: exploring model behavior through small applications, visible tool execution, and measured results that document usefulness and limitations.
Earlier experiments
Claude OKF repo kit is archived. Its useful repository-governance ideas now inform the smaller tools and skills above. spec-drift is also being retired after its experiment concluded.
