Now

What I'm currently up to — updated Nov 2026

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, Salt Lake City, Nov 9–12

I'll be there all week, mostly for OpenTelemetry and Kepler. Say hi in person, at hello@granitetait.com, or on LinkedIn.

Building

Platform infrastructure at Nusano: Kubernetes with Argo CD, Ansible buildouts, and Grafana observability from EPICS IOCs up
A redesign of this site, designed flat first and then taken into 3D
A rebuilt home network on UniFi, feeding a Proxmox homelab

Learning

OpenTelemetry and Kepler, the CNCF project that measures energy use on Kubernetes. My first Kepler PR merged in October
Finishing my BS at WGU; passed CompTIA Network+ and LPI Linux Essentials in September
Accelerator control systems: EPICS, IOCs, and Phoebus

Tools I'm reaching for

Claude Code for infrastructure work and this site
Grafana for everything that needs watching
Local speech-to-text so I can talk to my editor

Life

Getting ready for ski season
A new workout routine, weekday mornings
