Software Engineer · Self-Hosting Advocate · Music Obsessive
Building purposeful software — clean architectures, developer tooling, and the occasional vanity project.
I'm a software engineer with a fondness for clean architecture, strong opinions about tooling, and an embarrassingly deep interest in music.
By day I design and build .NET systems with a focus on clean architecture, proper testing, and CI/CD that actually works. By night I run self-hosted infrastructure, build Obsidian plugins, and over-engineer my music library. When I'm away from the keyboard you'll find me training for a triathlon or hunting down a record.
An eclectic radio station built on Hugo with a bespoke .NET 10 content operations pipeline. The pipeline handles album intake, Spotify and Lidarr integration, and automated publishing — all packaged as a self-contained binary with a GHCR-published Docker image.
