He designs and operates custom CI/CD platforms (notably a Podman + Buildbot based, security-conscious pipeline) and automates multi-architecture Debian packaging and continuous deployment. As founder of Priori and co-founder of Entanglement Garden, he focuses on peer-to-peer and self-deployable cloud toolkits that prioritize user control and privacy.
