noun. phonetic spelling of J.H., initials of .
developer / builder / human
I build at the intersection of AI and infrastructure. Agent platforms, compute systems on Kubernetes, the kind of plumbing teams quietly depend on. I pick the right tool for the problem and stay out of the way of the people who'll maintain it after me.
When I get the time, I write about what I'm building and push new things to github. I open-source because the good stuff should be auditable, and I ship small, sharp things and try to keep the abstractions honest.
