Building business software by day, poking at LLM workflows by night, and observing production from a comfortable branch.

return fix(problem)Hoot is the sound of an owl, my spirit animal. I chose the owl for its legendary wisdom and observation, though mostly I relate to the part where it's wide awake at 3 AM, silent, unblinking, and deeply concerned about something in the darkness. That something, for me, is usually a production log.
The py comes from Python, the language that got me into this whole mess in the first place. No refunds.
