Now
Hi, I am Matthias.
I'm a photographer who builds software. Most of what I build is for me, and some of it turns out to be useful for other people too.
This site is my cozy corner of the web. I want a web that's open and personal, so everything here lives on infrastructure I run. You can keep up with my career on my resume.
I live in Southern California. When I'm not at my desk I'm usually cooking or out with a camera.

After a brief stint experimenting with Hermes on my homelab server, I've ripped it out and migrated it to an Autonomous Intern. The agent running on my homelab is now just bog standard Claude Code that I can talk to via SSH over Tailscale.
The whole set up deserves a blog post of its own at some point. The gist is that I was exploring the idea of an agent harness as a c-panel. When it works, it works well, but ultimately Claude Code running at root with Opus is just a nicer system for handling Caddy + Docker + Tailscale on Arch.
Monterey Bay Aquarium is such a magical place.
