About

I spend my days driving technical strategy around IBM's storage and AI portfolio. Working across Fusion, Storage Scale, and Object Storage architectures to enable enterprise AI workloads.

Nights and weekends: running a homelab and building Go TUIs.

🔧 What I'm Building

k8watch (in progress)

Lightweight, single-binary Kubernetes monitoring TUI — think K9s but leaner.

Built with Go + Bubble Tea + Lip Gloss. Catppuccin/Tokyo Night aesthetic. Targets SMB operators who live in the terminal.

Homelab Observability Platform (in progress)

Network and infrastructure monitoring TUI. Zabbix/Grafana alternative without the overhead.

Implements automatic bottleneck identification using the USE Method, Linear Programming, and queueing theory.

Both tools ship as single binaries with optional AI-enhanced versions (Llama 3.3 70B / Mistral 7B via Ollama) for privacy-first, on-prem inference.
