i'm noa. full-spectrum infrastructure person who thinks systems should be warm environments for people, not cold monuments to engineering.

i like nix, kubernetes, and mass-producing immutable declarative infrastructure like everything will go down and needs to be rebuilt. i've shipped architecture for 800k+ users, and am currently getting used to working with llms. let's see where this leads.

• flake - my nixos configs. declarative, deterministic, reproducible, and other words that make me feel like i have my life together
• mimosa - kubernetes cluster in terraform. dead for now because i can't pay the bills since the great hetzner price change
• hyacinth - remote-control tablet kiosk system for a stupid tote-bag
• astro-llm-translator - making LLMs translate my docs so i don't have to
• pipra - multi-instance synced media player. just use spotify
• herbarium - my knowledge base / blog / digital garden / whatever you want to call it

• nixos on everything. i name my servers after plants. i (once) have a systemd timer that reminds me to take my meds.
• gave talks at nix meetups in china about convincing companies to use nix (mixed results). also i contribute to hosting the event since #2
• vrchat photography and avatar work
• generally, tending flowers in the wires

in the requiem garden i keep exploring where technology, memory, and feeling converge. if your team is figuring out how to turn obsessive design taste into reliable engineering — let's talk.
