This is my /now page — a snapshot of what I'm actually doing right now. I update it whenever something changes meaningfully, which is hopefully more often than my LinkedIn.
Working on
bosun + Leonard — agent infrastructure, shipped publicly
Both shipped publicly in May 2026. bosun
orchestrates parallel Claude Code sessions across isolated git
worktrees — 9-tool MCP server, explicit safety contract
(bosun merge is the only path that touches
main; never pushes; never modifies global git config).
Two security audits + three independent review rounds; zero HIGH
findings open. Leonard prevents Claude from
hallucinating over a project's life via symbol index + decision
log + claim ledger — 10-tool MCP server, 42 file formats indexed,
four focused security review rounds with every CRITICAL and HIGH
closed. The bosun repo dogfoods bosun for every release.
Styx Vanguard — finishing the business paperwork
Wrapping up the local business registrations — Hopkinsville Planning & Zoning, city occupational license, Christian County, the works — so I can finally start showing the demos to real prospects.
Thor — local inference on commodity hardware
gemma4 in production on a Ryzen 9 3900X + RX 6700 XT
box, powering StyxCRM's design and review pipelines at zero
per-call cost. The constraint everyone underestimates: model
selection matters less than the orchestration patterns around
it. See /projects for the receipts.
Working through the blog queue
Drafts in flight: six k8s deep dives (GitOps shape, secrets via
Bitwarden, the DNS gotcha that ate me three weeks, Postgres
backups silently failing to MinIO, ARC, Windows pods). Recent
landings: the audit-methodology long-form, distributed-go2rtc,
k8s three-things-i-got-wrong, and two merged OSS PRs (1Password
connect-sdk-go #104, Tailscale
k8s-operator #19755). Publishing pace:
roughly one a week.
k3s cluster + USB backup rotation
Stood up a 2-node k3s cluster (mac mini + Ryzen box) running ArgoCD for GitOps, CloudNativePG, and external-secrets — the source material for the k8s writing queue. Separately, building out a four-drive LUKS-encrypted offline backup rotation for the NAS. Phase 1 (drive detection on the dashboard) shipped; Phase 2 is the CLI plus monthly rotation logic.
Reading
- The Pragmatic Programmer — re-read, on audiobook this time.
- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir — finally getting to it. The audiobook is reportedly the way.
- Whatever's on the homelab subreddit at 11pm.
Listening
On heavy rotation: Gunship's whole catalog, Carpenter Brut, Mitchell Tenpenny when I'm in a country mood, and an embarrassing amount of late-90s Tobymac for the morning lifts. As advertised on the about page, my rotation makes no sense and I don't apologize. The full rotation lives here.
Tinkering
- Home Assistant. I love home automation, and I take real pleasure in making my home network more complex than it strictly needs to be. Because why not.
- Filing OSS PRs upstream when I trip over dependency issues in my own stack.
- Backfilling Pexels metadata sidecars across the 12k-image NAS-canonical photo library.
