Infrastructure should be declarative, reproducible, and boring β so the interesting work can happen on top of it. Wipe the machine, re-run the script, get the same setup. If it can't be re-created from a flake and a bootstrap, it doesn't belong in my setup.
The next decade of computing happens both at cloud and edge β small, capable models running locally, talking to bigger ones in the cloud only when they need to. Privacy, latency, and cost all point the same direction. I run my own stack end-to-end to learn what that future actually feels like, not just to read about it.
The best way to understand a tool is to put it in your daily path. So my MacBook, my home lab, and my Azure tenant are all live experiments β every commit is me learning something I couldn't have learned by reading docs alone.
And lastly: the world has no border, and none of us has a limit.. I contribute by showing my clients and peers the path to possibilities.

mac-nix-agentβ a one-command, nix-darwin recipe that turns a fresh Apple Silicon Mac into a self-contained AI workstation: oMLX for local MLX inference, Hermes Agent in an Apple container microVM, everything reproducible, zero cloud dependency by default but optional burstable. - π§±
nixos-azimage-builderβ declaratively built NixOS VHDs for Azure, with smoke tests gating promotion through tiers. While having golden image is not how NixOS deployment works - this is more of a proof of concept of how NixOS image building automation would work.
- Skytap networking overview
- Understand Azure VM NIC bandwidth consumption matric graph
- Common Azure Testbed #01 - hub and spoke with deployment pipeline
- Terraform code to set up OpenID Connect between Entra ID and Github Actions
- Making local agentic AI actually practical for working professionals β not a toy, not a benchmark, an everyday tool.
- Treating my personal infrastructure as a research lab for the patterns I want to bring back to the enterprise: declarative, observable, agent-friendly.
- Sharing the bootstrap scripts, flakes, and lessons publicly so the next person spends hours, not weeks, getting to the interesting part.
- π Issues and PRs on any of the repos above β especially
mac-nix-agent. If you tried it on your Mac and something broke, I want to know. - π¬ Chat about: AI applications in general, NixOS & Nix on macOS, MLX inference, Hermes Agent, Copilot CLI, agentic CI/CD, Azure landing zones, or just life as Thai-American-in-Japan-sometimes hybrid.
Opinions are my own. Repos are my playground. Everything here is built to be re-built.
