Things built to learn from. Local-first, occasionally public, never production cosplay.
Tools other engineers can steal, fork, or fix. That is the point.
Where I have been, what was left behind, and who signed off on it.
A geospatial engineer who prefers boring reliability over clever fragility.
professional
My professional work revolves around geospatial systems, software development, and the services that make those systems useful — geospatial data integration, backend services in Python, frontends in TypeScript/Next.js, and applied AI/ML where it moves the work forward. Across the repositories I work in, my contributions trace to 1,300+ attributed commits and 90+ authored or merged merge requests.
outside work
Outside formal projects, I keep building things because I like understanding how the pieces fit together: Linux environments, personal AI systems, self-hosted services, automation, small tools, and the occasional project that exists because I wanted to see if I could make it work. The line between work and lab is deliberate — work is work, and the lab is where the constraints are mine.
Profile
A project, a system, an odd technical problem — or something worth building.
