Breaking up with Alexa
Lately, privacy has become a more present concern for me and my family. It’s really a pick-your-poison situation, blame it on the constant data leaks, or sketchy data collection practices, or the growing threat of authoritarianism. Suffice it to say that at this point, I don’t really trust Google or Amazon to handle recordings of my day-to-day life.

Java goes to Kubernetes
Last year I had the opportunity to work on migrating Java microservices from EC2 to Kubernetes. It was mostly a smooth process thanks to the work that the OfferUp DevOps team had put in. The application deployment process that they created consolidated application properties, runtime, and ingress configuration. It was a big improvement over the legacy EC2 approach. Everything was great, except for performance. Various teams were reporting sporadic latency spikes and challenges with right-sizing.

Blight: Wireless LED Box

Projection Mapping using Organic
Back in 2010, I was working at Mater Academy High School alongside John Baldwin, my mentor and long time friend. At the time, we wanted to leverage spare projectors in theater. The goal was to build something that could help us place images or videos on the stage, animating their movement, and recording the layout for reuse during performances.
