🔨 Shipping right now

• → Quill by MapleSpike — Live Canadian public-sector data for AI agents and developers, every answer sourced. Next: better docs and an MCP quickstart.
• → Astral Key — Rust auth sidecar with passkeys, wallet login and JWT sessions, becoming single sign-on for my services.

🛠️ What I take on

Self-hosted AI

Local models on your hardware, an OpenAI-shaped endpoint in front of them, retrieval and MCP tooling so agents operate real services.

Private infrastructure

k3s and Argo CD from git: media, data services, monitoring and backups you can read and roll back.

Backend and front end

Rust and TypeScript services, auth, and Astro or React surfaces that ship as static files.
