This is a “now” page. If you’re wondering what I’m up to at this moment, this is the short list:

• Parenthood: Navigating the beautiful, chaotic irony of raising my son. Most of my “off-duty” time is currently spent learning the ropes of baby care and celebrating the small milestones.
• Engineering: Deep in the world of Cloud Native tech. I’m currently refining my skills in Rust and exploring the intersection of Agentic AI and Kubernetes platform engineering.
• Home & Grit: Maintaining our home in the Chattanooga area. Whether it’s tackling a DIY vehicle project or keeping the lawn in check, I’m finding peace in manual labor.
• The Ink: Building this blog, Ink and Irony, as a permanent home for my thoughts and a way to practice better “digital gardening.”
• Location: Living in Collegedale, TN, enjoying the proximity to the mountains and the local community.
