AI Enablement & Embedded R&D
A one-person lab that ships two things: productized AI enablement with a defined scope and delivery, and applied research putting models on hardware — drones, CANbus, and embedded systems.
Getting a working engineering org from “we tried ChatGPT” to agents embedded in the real workflow — with the guardrails, evaluation, and cost controls that make it survive contact with production.
Fixed phases, fixed deliverables. Each phase stands alone — stop after any one of them.
Models where the compute is small, the latency budget is real, and the network may not be there at all. Inference at the edge, on hardware that moves.
Everything here runs on self-hosted inference. No third-party model sees your telemetry.
A Go-based REST API and agentic root-cause-analysis server wrapping Datadog for monitoring, webhook automation, and intelligent incident response. Powers the nktlabs.ai frontend, the n0ko chatbot, and automated observability workflows. Built with clean Go architecture and the suckless philosophy.
Systems-focused engineer who lives in the terminal. I build backend services in Go, provision infrastructure with Terraform, and monitor everything with Datadog. My daily driver is nvim on Arch (btw), window-managed by dwm. I also build agentic AI systems — multi-agent orchestration, autonomous workflows, and LLM tooling that actually does things.
Passionate about observability, monitoring, and making complex distributed systems understandable. Every tool I build follows one rule: do one thing well.

Coming Soon - Private Repo> Role: Site Reliability Engineer & Observability SME at ECCO Select, embedded with USDA Forest Service
Led the rollout of a full-stack Datadog observability platform across 1,000+ VMs and 150+ mission-critical applications on AWS (EC2, ECS, Fargate). Standardized monitoring deployment with Terraform, integrated Datadog with ITSM for automated ticketing, and built dashboards serving teams at different stages of cloud adoption.
“We used to spend hours figuring out where to route an alert. Now Datadog talks to our ITSM, and the ticket goes straight to the right team.”
Systems Hacker and Agentic AI Builder. Deep expertise in DevOps, SRE, and observability (Datadog), with production Kubernetes and Terraform at enterprise scale. I write backend services and CLI tools in Go, build multi-agent AI systems, and follow the suckless/Unix philosophy. Proven track record delivering monitoring solutions for federal agencies (USDA Forest Service) and private sector. Currently building autonomous agent frameworks, LLM tooling, and observable infrastructure.
