Platform & infrastructure engineer. Go. Building open-source tooling for working safely with AI coding agents (bosun, Leonard). Remote, Kentucky.

built Leonard to catch my AI inventing functions that don't exist. Then I pointed it at Leonard's own code and caught a deleted function still verifying as present, the exact failure the whole tool exists to prevent.

I built a system only I could run and called it job security. Ten years later I can see it was a cage, and I'd thrown away the only key. On the bus-factor-1 hero, and why building to be handed off is the actual move.

I held off on Kubernetes for years because the case against it sounded right. Then I stood up a two-node k3s cluster and found most of what I'd believed was wrong. Three of them.

A security audit flagged my worst homelab problem: secrets sitting in plaintext. So I stood up Vault and made secrets something you request, not something you store. Here's what broke on the first deploy.

@_avichawla Great Post.

My AI pair-programmer will tell me it fixed something it never touched, and call a function that doesn't exist, in the same calm voice it uses for everything. Better prompts didn't fix it. So I built a tool that checks its claims against the real code.
