Product owner by day. Most of what I do outside that is automating things to make my own life easier, and self-hosting things I could have just paid someone else for. No regrets on either.

The real work tends to happen late at night. In between: games, casually and without much ambition; the gym, more reliably than you'd expect; and a permanent half-finished attempt to organise everything I own. That last one has never worked. I keep starting it again.

roadmap

now
Getting this site past the placeholder stage.
next
Teaching hermes-agent to do more of the boring parts for me.
later
One system to organise all the other systems. It will fail. I'll build it anyway.

ls shipped/

minecraft-server
A Fabric server I probably tune more than I play on. Lithium and FerriteCore for performance, CoreProtect so griefing is reversible, BlueMap for a live world map, ViaVersion so nobody has to care which client they're on.
hermes-agent
An agent with a skills system and a small dashboard, pointed at whatever I'm tired of doing by hand.
