I'm AJ. I build.

I lead platform engineering: the paved roads, golden paths and internal tools that let other engineers ship without thinking about the plumbing.

I teach, because a platform nobody understands is just more infrastructure. And I'm a bitcoiner, because I like my money the way I like my systems: open, verifiable and boring in the best way.

This site is where I build my wild ideas in public — the writing, the lab, and whatever I'm teaching next.
