🌲 Big Caribou Lake, ON Tech Builder & Dad

Hi, I'm [Your Name].

Tech builder, problem solver, and father. Welcome to my digital front porch—a place to archive my work, technical ideas, and side projects.

💻 The Tech & The Craft

Software architecture, tools, and side experiments.

I spend my professional life building distributed software architecture and digital infrastructure. I love solving tricky technical puzzles, building resilience into systems, and creating software that feels effortless (or at least survives Friday afternoon without incident).

Architecture v2.4

High-Throughput Data Pipeline

Distributed processing service built to parse stream telemetry with minimal memory footprint and zero state drift.

Go Kafka Docker
Home Lab Active Chaos

Smart Cabin & Home Automation

Local-first Home Assistant setup controlling lighting, climate monitoring, and automated alerts that mildly amuse (or confuse) my family.

Home Assistant Zigbee MQTT
Web App Open Source

Big Caribou Weather & Water Dashboard

Lightweight ambient web interface aggregating remote weather telemetry, lake temperature trends, and solar generation.

TypeScript Tailwind REST API
Dev Tools CLI

Log Sanitizer & Debugger

Fast terminal utility for redacting sensitive PII token keys and formatting JSON logs during midnight debugging sessions.

Rust Regex CLI
The Off-Grid Anchor

Big Caribou Lake

As much as I love technology and building complex software, my root system is anchored right here. It's the place where cell coverage gives up, the night sky is pitch black, and the best algorithm is simply taking a morning paddle across glass water with a fresh coffee.

"The best debugging tool is an hour on the lake with zero Wi-Fi."

Life in Between

Fatherhood, wood stacks, and miscellaneous hobbies.

When I’m off the clock, my primary title is Dad. Raising a great kid and teaching them how things work (along with proper firewood stacking protocol) keeps life in perspective. When time permits, I rotate through a few favorite pursuits:

🪓

Woodworking & Timber

Building physical things out of wood where undo buttons don't exist and tolerances require measure-thrice accuracy.

Coffee & Roasting

Obsessing over espresso extraction variables and pour-over kettle speeds like software performance metrics.

🛠️

DIY & Electronics

Constantly starting (and occasionally finishing) custom home automation projects and solder bench tinkers.
