What I'm Doing Now

This is a now page — what I'm actually focused on right now instead of my entire life story. Page last edited September 2026.

Building

Nexus Agents is eating most of my free engineering hours. Multi-model AI orchestration that routes tasks to Claude, Gemini, Codex, and OpenCode based on what each is good at. The consensus voting system — where multiple AI agents debate a proposal and vote — lets me compare independent critiques before making a decision. Agreement is useful input; it still needs checking against the code and evidence.

Also maintaining my live-coding music MCP, which gives Claude direct control overStrudel.cc for AI-assisted live music coding. 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 ablog post about it, but I'm going deeper now — building custom probes for my homelab to detect container escapes.

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)

Recently Shipped

• Corrected all homelab hardware references across the blog
• Added Playwright smoke tests, series navigation, and performance improvements to this website
• Codified Pi node provisioning with IaC (Makefile + Chrony NTP configs)

Homelab Status

The Dell R910 is still humming along (256GB RAM, 48 threads). RunningIncus on Ubuntu 24.04 with BOSH-managed Cloud Foundry and Concourse CI workloads. Raspberry Pi 5s and a Pi 4 handle DNS (dual Pi-hole) and SSO (Authentik). Monitoring via Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Alertmanager with push alerts to ntfy. Power bill is still ~$150/month.
