I build, automate, and maintain systems of many types. Mostly computers.
Professionally, I combine devops, site reliability, and systems engineering
to leverage state-of-the-art development and deployment practices across
many projects.
Some of my cloud hosts. All sorts of projects going on here.For a while they were in my brother's basement.Observation and control room at MSU's linear particle
accelerator. This is one of the coolest monitoring
setups I've seen in person. But they all use windows!
Yes: I fell into this fad, too. Over winter 2020-2021,
I lived in my small cottage in rural southwest Michigan, and
heated it almost entirely with this.
Me at 4 with my first computer.My computer now. Not quite on par with MSU's
accelerator lab. Yet.
Back there is my little orchard. Fresh fruit is the best.One time my wife took me snorkling and I got far too
close to a Spotted Eagle Ray.
A blast furnace in Dearborn, MI. I like to
drive around and take pictures of cool stuff.
My office in college. I've been like this for a long time.
About Me
Grew up in Michigan. Lived a few other places. Studied astrophysics in
college. Been programming since I learned to read. Play some music.
I've tried a lot of things and computers are my favorite. Farming is
second. I run servers out of my barn and produce my own electricity.
My wife and I had our first baby and now everything I do is for them.
