/ now — May 2026

What I am on this month.

A living page, updated irregularly. What is in front of me at work, what is running on the home server, and what I am trying to make less fragile.

01 — current context

Botrista, home infrastructure, local AI.

focus

Scaling the partner operations playbook beyond the original six-month window.

building

Shorter, role-specific partner training modules for real turnover conditions.

tuning

Cleaning up our ops dashboards so the team sees fewer screens with more useful information.

next

Moving home-grown automations from ad-hoc scripts into documented, versioned workflows.

02 — input

Reading and learning.

topic

Partner operations at scale.

Studying fleet-operator companies and the handoff between sales, onboarding, and operations. Looking for patterns, not prescriptions.

technical

Local AI tooling.

Evaluating where local language models and small inference servers (Ollama, llama.cpp) fit into daily ops workflows without becoming a maintenance burden.

craft

Clearer internal docs.

Revisiting old tickets and training materials to find where instructions worked and where they quietly failed.
