Hi! I'm Kai, a platform engineer 13 years in, currently most interested in what one person can build right now - the ceiling has shifted a lot in the last year. Queer, Black, trans, living in San Lorenzo, in the East Bay.

I build things for the joy of it: Gauntlet (a two-agent adversarial loop for inferring correctness), a running herd of Eco mods, a Bluesky stats app, and a personal CRM in an Obsidian vault. Outside the keyboard: factory / strategy / tactics games, gardening, and slowly planning an ADU.

/now is the living document - what I'm thinking about, building, and playing this week. /resume is the career summary, updated when someone asks.
