Senior Infrastructure Engineer by trade. Bass music by compulsion. Building things at the intersection of sound, light, and infrastructure since before it was cool.
Founder of Tech-Noid Systems — a bass music collective, internet radio station, sound system, and general chaos engine running since 2008. Based in West Sacramento, CA. Performing DJ (Autonomic · Halftime DnB · Grey Area) and VJ. NorCal DnB scene.
A Rust-based real-time bridge between VJ software and your whole lighting ecosystem — Hue, WLED, DMX, lasers. Tauri + Svelte native app, pluggable input adapters, mlua scripting. It started as "I want my lights to react to my music" and turned into an actual project.
Behavioral scaffolding and session conventions for AI coding workflows. Markdown-based context files, structured handoff docs, and sane defaults for working with AI assistants on real projects. Open source. Use it.
The umbrella for everything TNS — radio infrastructure, web presence, tooling, and miscellaneous experiments. Kubernetes, Flux GitOps, Icecast, the works.
30+ years in computers and electronics. Currently doing senior SRE/DevOps work: 5-node ARM64 Kubernetes cluster (self-hosted, 2Gbps fiber), Flux GitOps, HAProxy → MetalLB → nginx ingress. I care a lot about reliability, observability, and not being paged at 3am.
Tech I live in: Kubernetes Rust Go Python Terraform Helm Flux Linux
