Treating evaluation as a first-class cached graph artifact.

🧠 Focus

• Graph-native systems design
• Declarative infrastructure (Nix, Kubernetes)
• Evaluation, caching, and reproducibility
• Composable architectures beyond file-based repos

⚙️ Current Work

• FleetNix + CAPI integration
• Cluster bootstrapping + secret flows (SOPS, Clan)
• Exploring graph-based program representation

🧩 Ideas I'm Exploring

• Evaluation as a persistent artifact (not ephemeral)
• Language-agnostic program graphs
• Function-level composability + caching
• Replacing file-based repos with graph materializations

🛠️ Stack

• Nix / NixOS / Home Manager
• Kubernetes (k3s, GitOps direction)
• Terraform / OpenTofu
• Linux + cloud infra

📡 Signal > Noise

I care about:

• correctness
• reproducibility
• composability
• leverage
