I lead engineering teams and build things of my own.
Off the clock, I’m a learning stoic who enjoys an active lifestyle. I grew up on science fiction and somehow ended up reading more self-help than I expected.
This is where I keep track of the work I do, things I build, ideas I explore, and whatever I'm learning along the way.
Latest on my mind.
Thoughts and lessons from work, from building, and from life in between.
Every dev deploy at our company went through one person checking servers by hand for free capacity. I found Coolify on a Reddit thread, standardized us on Docker Compose, and cut setup from a day and a half to about two hours. That was the first piece of taking over devops and deployment for the whole company. It now runs 200+ containers across 8+ servers, including my own.
