What I'm Doing Now

A snapshot of what's keeping me busy, curious, and caffeinated.

Last updated: March 25, 2026

Currently Working On

Reimagining my home lab with Proxmox — consolidating servers, spinning up VMs and containers, and building a more flexible infrastructure for running AI workloads, dev environments, and home services.
Experimenting with OpenClaw on an EC2 instance in AWS, plus NanoClaw and NemoClaw on my local Macs and Linux servers at home — constantly tweaking configs, testing new models, and chasing that perfect AI setup.
Maintaining and improving this site — always tinkering with blog features, structured data, and performance optimizations.
Experimenting with home automation projects — finally jumped into the Home Assistant space with a new Home Assistant Green. Whole new world opened up for me, integrating AI assistants with smart home devices to build something actually useful.

Currently Reading

"A Screaming Life: Into the Superunknown with Soundgarden" by Kim Thayil — a highly anticipated music memoir with deep insight into iconic tones and songwriting from one of grunge's greatest guitarists.
"The Adaptive Edge: Leading Through Uncertainty in a Disrupted World" by Dr. Elena Martinez — one of 2026's highest-rated leadership books, with frameworks for resilience and leading teams through constant digital disruption.
"Kotlin in Action" 2nd Edition by Roman Elizarov, Svetlana Isakova, Sebastian Aigner & Dmitry Jemerov — leveling up my Kotlin as I dive deeper into Android development.
"Tidy First?" by Kent Beck — a refreshingly short take on when and how to refactor, and the economics behind the decision.

Currently Learning

Exploring agentic AI orchestration — designing multi-agent systems, tool-use patterns, and autonomous workflows that go beyond simple prompt-response interactions.
Diving deeper into Kotlin for more Android development — always learning a new language keeps the mind sharp.
Platform engineering patterns: backstage plugins, golden paths, and self-service infrastructure.

Currently Thinking About

How to measure and improve developer experience without adding more surveys to people's plates.
The balance between standardization and team autonomy in large engineering organizations.
What "sustainable pace" really means when the industry moves this fast.
How servant leadership scales — and where the model needs adaptation for distributed teams.

This page is inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page movement. It's a way to share what I'm focused on right now, rather than a full bio or resume. If you're curious about the concept, check out nownownow.com.
