Software, systems, and the work in between.
Type to skip the introduction. Tab completes commands and paths, then cycles candidates. Shift+Tab reverses an active cycle; otherwise it moves focus backward. Edit or move the caret to end a cycle. Escape leaves the terminal. Type help for commands.

Engineering Leadership & Technical Strategy
Distributed Systems Architecture · AI & Agent Engineering · Application & Platform Design
Engineering leader setting technical direction across projects and teams, translating business priorities into product capabilities and durable architecture. Combines technical strategy with hands-on execution, from research and prototyping to implementation, deployment, and operations, with accountability for delivery, reliability, and cost.

- 01The Exit Path Is Part of the Feature
Complete workflows include the transitions that follow rejection.
- 02Finding a Nord WireGuard Endpoint
A failed replacement search became a userspace probe and endpoint finder.
- 03Make the Harness Fit the Work
Agent harnesses carry workflow assumptions worth shaping deliberately.
principles.md
- Own the boundary
- Keep consequential architecture visible instead of hiding it behind convenience.
- Verify the behavior
- Prefer observable evidence over confidence in a plausible implementation.
- Keep the exit path
- Failure and recovery are part of the feature, not work around its edges.
- Build the narrow tool
- A focused system can remain useful without becoming a generalized product.
