Former chef turned backend developer who builds practical, self-hosted systems with .NET Core, EF Core, and Docker. I specialize in designing APIs, connecting services, and deploying real tools that solve everyday problems.
On the infrastructure side, I maintain a home lab where I self-host databases, .NET services, and AI workloads. Recently, I’ve been building a wrapper around Ollama to expose local LLMs as a microservice, enabling other apps in my lab to integrate generative AI seamlessly.
- 🛠️ Develop secure, modular backend services with ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, Entity Framework Core, and Docker
- 🌐 Build Blazor frontends and self-hosted apps for real-world use (home lab deployments, internal tools)
- 🤖 Integrate LLMs as microservices into private infrastructure using Docker + Ollama
- ⚡ Automate workflows and optimize developer experience
- 🔬 Explore systems internals with C++, Vulkan, and engine architecture (secondary focus)
