About

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.

Featured projects

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.

Local development comes first. The live EKS, RDS, and MSK relay proof is pending.

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.

Personal Agent Skills collection: ten independent workflows grouped into planning and research, building and verification, and Git workflows. Each package contains SKILL.md and optional supporting files for use by Codex or Claude Code. Repository checks cover structure, behavioral contracts, tests, types, and lint.

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.

BreedFrame's photo workspace with a beagle photo and Scout running the vision model. The activity panel shows the choose-action, run-tool, and return-evidence steps.

Other work

  • 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.

Engineering focus

  • 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.
