What I'm up to...

Tis the season for planting seeds... so my time right now is split between exploring tech on my own and assisting entrepreneurs at early-stage startups. I actually enjoy helping out other devs, and "half-gigging" means I get to keep learning and contributing. If you'd like help on your project, gimme a shout! :)

AI-Assisted Health Platform

Health

Assisting a private entrepreneur with their very-early-stage development effort toward a potential platform in the health sector. The initial work is on data engineering tasks to help un-block tickets faster to meet their MVP goals. I'm helping them move toward agentic dataOps so that processing is fully automated and continuous.

Current Scope

Re-architect repo and implement ci/cd

Re-architect schema management

Automate ETL/ELT processes between external and internal data sources

Design & document new data flow for client

Re-factor AI tooling developed earlier to better integrate with new data flows

Reboot of a personal effectiveness tool for life-hacking, discipline, daily practice & accountability towards goals. Started out as a paper process with a family member, then with friends. It is embarassingly late on all fronts, and tbh the paper process is winning, lol.

I'm not doing anything that absolutely requires kubernetes in all its glory right away, so have deferred mock exam practice.
