At iCapital, I just wrapped a 6-month Terraform migration of our entire Snowflake footprint — 356 objects across 3 production accounts. The interesting next step is plumbing through to the rest of the team, so PRs against TF replace Slack messages to me. Slow, satisfying work.

The bigger arc on the platform side is a medallion redesign and an open-table-format migration. Both are early. Both will probably take longer than I'm planning for.

Data Control Hub keeps growing — 4 engineers actively using it, expanding team-wide. It's becoming the foundation for the AI-assisted platform tooling we're starting to build.

Project Hestia just shipped. The site you're reading runs on it, along with Demeter (recipes), Ares (workouts), and Gaia (the auth + DB + nginx underneath). All four are live behind a single wildcard cert on a Hetzner box.

Bass-forward stuff. Linkin Park, always.

Learning to cook proper South Indian food — specifically getting the tempering timing right. The mustard seeds pop window is about 3 seconds wide and I've overshot it more times than I'd like to admit.

Playing bass. Nothing serious, just working through jazz standards to stay musical.
