Backend and infrastructure engineering. Kotlin, Postgres, a lot of shell, a preference for running my own things, and a growing share of the work done alongside agents.

The writing starts where things fail quietly — the monitor that could only ever say “fine”, the config that silently dropped half its headers. From there it runs into what AI is doing to how software gets built: specs worth holding an agent to, tools worth building, and the question of what we choose to keep doing by hand. It won’t stop there either. I have a minister’s licence, a long reading list and a children’s story I intend to illustrate myself.
