Software architect building data platforms in Go and Kubernetes.
I build data platforms and distributed systems, with current focus on Model Context Protocol servers that bring enterprise data into AI workflows. Previously Director of R&D at Napster and architect of NBC.com's unified web platform. Author of Advanced Platform Development with Kubernetes (Apress).
- kubefwd - Bulk port forwarding for Kubernetes services.
- txeh - Go library and CLI for /etc/hosts management.
A composable suite of Model Context Protocol servers for data platform integration, all in Go:
- mcp-data-platform - Semantic data platform server with bidirectional cross-injection across tools.
- mcp-datahub - DataHub metadata access for AI assistants.
- mcp-trino - Trino-backed warehouse query and exploration.
- mcp-s3 - S3 and S3-compatible object storage access.
I'm commercializing this work as Plexara, AI integration for companies running bespoke data platforms.
I authored Advanced Platform Development with Kubernetes (Apress, 2020), covering data platform architecture with Kafka, MinIO, Elasticsearch, and Kubernetes. Source code is on GitHub.
