Sean Patterson

DevOps engineer. On a career break in Tokyo, studying Japanese.

Most of what's here is me documenting the work I do on my homelab — Kubernetes, observability, and whatever else I'm building. AI is the thing on my mind constantly right now: a massive enabler, and a quiet source of anxiety about what it means for the people (myself included) who build things for a living.

Away from the terminal I've been powerlifting for ten years — figuring out, year by year, what that looks like as I get older and the desk hours stack up. When I'm not training, I'm usually at the coffee shop down the road from my apartment, playing with my Gaggimate and practicing my Japanese with the owner and the regulars — my neighbors.
