Engineer from silicon to cloud
My personal site about side hustles, notes, and products built across three continents. This boosts my productivity and pays the (some) bills.
What I build
KubeLab
I wanted to understand how platforms actually work — not just click buttons on managed K8s. So I built one from scratch. 5 physical nodes, K3s, VPN mesh, SSO, full observability. Everything IaC, nothing manual.
Hive
AI assistants waste tokens loading context they don't need. Hive queries your Obsidian vault on demand via MCP — only what's relevant, when it's relevant. 67-82% token reduction.
Pollex
Cloud LLM APIs see everything you type. Pollex polishes your English on a $99 Jetson Nano — grammar, coherence, wording. 3-second inference, zero cloud dependencies.
ts-bridge
Corporate firewalls block VPN clients that need admin rights. ts-bridge tunnels RDP/SSH through Tailscale in userspace — no install, no admin, no traces. One binary.
pdf-modifier-mcp
Find-and-replace in PDFs without destroying the formatting. CLI for batch jobs, MCP server for AI agents.
yt-metrics-cli
YouTube Studio analytics are shallow and locked to your own channel. This CLI pulls metrics for any public channel and exports everything.
kasa-provisioner
Configuring 20 smart plugs one by one through a phone app is painful. This scans the network, updates firmware, and sets schedules in bulk.
