// About

My Story

Spent 15 years in food service learning the value of hard work, teamwork, and showing up every day. Meanwhile, always curious about computers — 20 years of tinkering, researching, and dabbling with Linux on the side.

Fully committed to NixOS for system configuration. Built a 4-host mining cluster with Colmena deployment, currently migrating to Kubernetes. Developing production apps with Rust microservices, React frontends, and AI integration.

Current focus: Building Canada's sovereign AI stack — inference gateway, knowledge fabric, and government data pipelines. Homelab infrastructure with NixOS at the core.
