Located in Ohio, I build castles in the sky for my day job. Most of what's here exists because I had a problem, looked at the available solution, and decided I'd rather maintain my own. Results vary. The commit history is honest about it.
- my-family — self-hosted genealogy software that takes sourcing seriously and storytelling more seriously. Built on gedcom-go, a Go parser for a file format designed in 1984 and never fully agreed upon since.
- ferrocv — renders JSON Resume through Typst. Written in Rust, so my resume now has a build step and a lockfile. There's a starter template if you want the same problem.
- waterforge — clone bottled mineral water from distilled water and food-grade salts. Cheaper than the bottle, considerably more effort, which was never the point.
- sortpics-go — files two decades of photos by what the EXIF says rather than what the filename claims.
- roulette-wheel — a physics-accurate American roulette wheel in Go and Ebitengine. It faithfully reproduces the house edge, which is the one feature nobody requested.
MCP servers for VyOS, Z-Wave JS UI, and Spotify — so I can misconfigure my router, my light switches, and my playlists without leaving the terminal. Plus a Claude Code plugin collection and the dotfiles that carry my opinions between machines.
A tech stack that has outlasted several of my strongly-held beliefs. Networking, DNS, backups, and every repo I own are declared in Terraform or Ansible — not because it's faster, but because when something breaks at 11pm I'd like to know which commit to blame.
Go · Rust · AWS · Terraform · Ansible · Docker · a great deal of YAML I did not ask for
