FOUNDER / INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER

I run infrastructure and build products.

I founded ArkHost and have worked on production infrastructure since 2012. I also build HelixNotes, a local-first Markdown app.

Hosting I can explain and operate.

I run hosting, VPS, domains, email, and the automation that keeps the platform working.

WORKING PRINCIPLES

How I make decisions.

  1. Know the critical path.

    I need to know what can stop the system and how to recover it.

  2. Use systems I can debug.

    Clear logs and familiar failure modes matter more than novelty.

  3. Build operations in.

    Deployment, monitoring, backups, recovery, and a small data footprint belong in the first plan.

CONTACT

Email is best.

If you need help with infrastructure, hosting automation, or product development, send me a message. I prefer messages to calls.
