Dennis B.

I keep research compute running at work. At home, I break my own stack for fun: Linux boxes, private tunnels, local models, agents, dashboards, and automations - the useful kind, not the shiny kind.

Field notes

Not a resume. Just the stuff I keep coming back to.

Work

I keep research compute usable. Some days that means Linux and storage, some days it means finding the one boring thing everything depends on.

Linux / storage / shared services / reliability

Home

At home I run my own stack because apparently relaxing means debugging reverse proxies, tunnels, dashboards, and media automation at unreasonable hours.

AI / agents

Local models, agents, coding assistants, and the parts of AI that are still useful once the demo is over. I like the messy tool-using side of it.
