Crafting code by night. Crafting cheese by day.

A bit about who I am

By day, I work at a cheese factory — a craft that demands precision, patience, and dedication. By night, I dive into the world of technology, building tools, exploring operating systems, and experimenting with AI.

I'm drawn to systems that value transparency and reliability: Linux, BSD, and IllumOS are my platforms of choice. I write Python for automation and data, Rust when performance matters, and JavaScript to bring ideas to the browser. Lately, I've been deep in the AI/ML space, exploring what's possible when you pair curiosity with compute.
