What I'm Doing Now

This is a now page. It's like an about page, but for what I'm actually focused on right now instead of my entire life story.

Last updated: March 2026

Building

Nexus Agents is eating most of my free engineering hours. It's a multi-model AI orchestration system that routes tasks to Claude, Gemini, Codex, and OpenCode based on what each model is actually good at. The consensus voting system—where multiple AI agents debate a proposal and vote—is the part I'm most proud of. It sounds absurd, and it kind of is, but it produces measurably better decisions than any single model alone.

I'm also maintaining Strudel MCP Server, which gives Claude direct control over Strudel.cc for AI-assisted live music coding. It's the most fun project I've ever built. Watching an AI compose algorithmic music in real-time never gets old.

Learning

Rust, still. Building a vulnerability aggregation tool that pulls from NVD, EPSS, and CISA KEV. Will I finish it? Probably not. Am I learning a lot? Absolutely. The borrow checker has humbled me in ways Go never did.

eBPF for security monitoring. I wrote a blog post about it, but I'm going deeper now—building custom probes for my homelab to detect container escapes. It's the kind of low-level systems work I find genuinely exciting.

Working On

Cloud platform security at the federal level. Can't say much more than that, but the work involves identity federation, compliance automation, and making sure security controls enable teams rather than block them. I spent years at NIH learning that lesson the hard way.

Reading

  • Research papers on multi-model routing and ensemble methods for LLMs
  • NIST AI RMF (AI Risk Management Framework)—because someone has to figure out AI governance
  • Too many HackerNews threads about Rust vs Go (I'm in the "use both" camp)

Homelab Status

The Dell R940 is still humming along (768GB RAM, 64 cores). Currently running ~30 VMs and ~15 LXC containers. Recent additions: a Concourse CI pipeline for homelab automation and better Grafana dashboards for the Wazuh SIEM. Power bill is still ~$150/month. My partner has accepted this as a permanent line item.
