Featured work
All projects
Projects built around real infrastructure
Small, focused tools and experiments — each one solving a concrete operational problem.
API Tools
Small utilities and integrations for automating service workflows.
Network Lab
Testing routing, DNS, HTTP and distributed network configurations.
Automation
Lightweight tools for repetitive server and administrative tasks.
Platform
A small platform, engineered like a large one
Every service runs behind the same edge, is checked on the same schedule and is reachable over modern, standards-based protocols.
