Hi there 👋

Hi there 👋

🔭 I’m currently working on building Obelix, a NixOS-based self-hosted DevSecOps infrastructure stack, and SHARD, a self-hosted advanced refinery for data. I also maintain and experiment with projects like Starfront (a Unity 6 sci-fi base-building game), ArcusFlow (an amateur athlete telemetry pod), and automation tooling such as Menhir (Hydra-based CI orchestrator).

🌱 I’m currently learning Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), reproducible builds with Nix, and advanced DevSecOps practices.

👯 I’m looking to collaborate on:

• Open-source NixOS modules and infrastructure tooling
• Game development (Unity 6, systems/narrative design)
• Wearables and telemetry (ArcusFlow hardware/software stack)
• Self-hosted data aggregation, visualization, and analysis

🤔 I’m looking for help with:

• Velocity Template Language (VTL) in CI/CD pipelines
• Advanced Hydra CI integrations and GitHub status reporting

💬 Ask me about:

• NixOS, Hydra, Kubernetes, GitOps, reproducible infra
• Unity 6 development for sci-fi/strategy games
• Amateur athlete tracking and telemetry design
• Self-hosted data visualization (Grafana, Prometheus, PostgreSQL)

📫 How to reach me: GitHub Profile

😄 Pronouns: He/Him

⚡ Fun fact: All my infrastructure hosts are named after He-Man villains (Trapjaw, Beastman, Evil-Lyn, etc.), and Obelix’s environments are named after Asterix characters.
