Day job: making a large backend less slow. Evenings: building small, sharp tools for the AI coding agents that now do most of the typing.

Workflow

My Mac, Linux laptop, and iPhone sit on a private mesh network and behave like one machine — any terminal, editor, or agent session is reachable from any of them, including on the go. The whole environment rebuilds itself on a fresh machine from a single config repo, and AI agents are first-class in it: one keystroke spawns one into an isolated copy of a PR's branch, and push notifications keep me in the loop when one finishes.
