Production reliability · Founder, Tracelane
Fifteen years in enterprise production support and reliability across financial services. Currently Second Vice President / Application Support Consultant at Northern Trust, working full-time on institutional financial platforms. Building Tracelane alongside that role: a tamper-evident runtime proxy for AI agents. My product work combines architecture, specifications, trade-offs, troubleshooting and verification with AI-assisted implementation.
AI infrastructure
A tamper-evident runtime proxy for AI agents. Gateway-admitted calls are recorded before dispatch; if the audit pipeline cannot accept the call, it does not go out.
SHA-256 chains, Ed25519 signatures and offline verification. Open source, self-hostable, with hosted storage in Germany.
Project stack: Rust · ClickHouse · OpenTelemetry · Apache-2.0
Family & connection
A calm space for families living apart. Share a voice, keep a recipe, light a lamp, or sit together. Keep parents needed, heard and part of everyday life.
Formerly Aangan. Built for the Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon. Sharing is opt-in; AI proposes and people approve.
Project stack: Next.js · Meta models · Supabase · 29 languages
AI intelligence
A live AI and financial-services intelligence feed, covering research, regulation, deployments, tools and careers. An automated pipeline refreshes the feed every four hours.
Source-linked summaries for people building and operating enterprise AI. Read the feed or follow the weekly deep-dive.
Project stack: Next.js · RSS + research · GitHub Actions · Multi-provider AI
Tracelane’s published architecture uses two Rust services with ClickHouse and NATS. Its gateway-admitted calls are hash-chained and signed; SDK/OTLP-only spans are captured, not chained. Current product details and limitations: tracelane.dev.
