I build the paved roads so other engineers can drive fast without reading the map. π£οΈ Everyone says pick speed or quality. I'm too stubborn to pick.
By day: cloud / platform / DevOps / IaC at Takeda (Terraform, AWS, Harness). By night: tiny CLIs nobody asked for, and a dotfiles repo that is definitely finished. (It is not.)
The serious version lives on LinkedIn and in my CV. This is the one with the sense of humour.
| terrapyne | Python CLI/SDK to wrangle Terraform/OpenTofu and Terraform Cloud |
| inji | Renders Jinja templates for parametrised config. Ninja, but for Jinja. |
| ghostship | Shell prompt manager (Go) π |
| octo | A CLI productivity booster |
| ob-cli | Obsidian notes from the terminal, frecency-ranked, git-synced |
| gum / rum | Frecent dirs and files, in Go and Rust. Yes, I did it twice. |
| nq | Last-job-in-queue executor. Small on purpose. |
| aws-cli-ro | Read-only AWS CLI in a container, so Friday deploys stay boring |
| agent-skills | Skills for AI coding agents. Teaching robots good manners. π€ |
| dotfiles | Where my yak-shaving lives |
- π Learning Go properly, writing Terraform modules/providers for
$work - π¨βπ§ Levelling up my parenting skills (no CI for this one, only prod)
- π Losing gracefully at Advent of Code
- π΄ Trying to take this Strava segment. Pointers welcome.
Platform engineering, Terraform, distributed systems, Cloud Native, productivity tooling, or something nebulous yet lofty (βοΈ get it?), ideally with a nautical (βΈ) twist. heh
