Hi! I'm Kai. Platform engineer, 10+ years in. Day job: accelerating engineers as their work goes agentic, with observability for LLM consumers as the current bet. Off-hours I run a small lights-out factory: single-node k3s homelab, a herd of agents building and breaking my own services in the dark, a steady output of small tools. Wire it in, instrument it, push on it until it breaks.

Most excited about Gauntlet: a two-agent adversarial loop that infers software correctness under sustained, targeted attack. - /now
