/ now — July 2026

What I am focused on this month.

A brief, irregular update on the work in front of me, the systems I maintain at home, and the practices I am making more reliable.

01 — current work

Partner operations, home infrastructure, and local AI tools.

focus

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

building

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

improving

Making reporting and internal tools easier to use when a team needs an answer quickly.

next

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

02 — learning

Patterns worth applying.

topic

Partner operations at scale.

Studying how field-service businesses hand work from sales through onboarding and into long-term support. 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.
