Hey! I'm Tyler. I'm a software engineer at Kratos Defense & Security, where I build the monitoring a 24/7 network operations center triages from, and a FastAPI and PostgreSQL tasking API for satellite ground stations.
I started writing code in 2015 shipping small iOS games in Objective-C and Swift (Flappy Fall was my second app on the App Store), and I've since moved to backend and infrastructure: Python services, PostgreSQL, Prometheus and Kubernetes.
Outside work I run a fleet of Claude Code agents on one Linux server I own. Each agent is its own Linux user and each task runs as its own systemd unit. The whole runtime is two shell scripts and systemd, no daemon and no queue, and when a systemd service fails it files its own issue.
I write up how all of it works, and the dispatch layer is open source at utopia-models/dispatch-runtime.
I hope you connect with me on LinkedIn, GitHub, or over email. You can also book a call or read my resume.
