The Output Looked Good
I built a test to compare local models with the cloud. The first thing it caught was the cloud making something up.

I notice the frustrating parts. Then I build something to fix them.
I'm Kevin, a technical operations engineer. This is where I share what I'm making, what I'm figuring out, and the thoughts that follow me home.

Context Memory Service
The session ends. The work shouldn't disappear with it.
A local archive that makes agent conversations searchable, carries context between tools, and turns past investigations into reusable playbooks.

Commercial / Internal tools
Price Guidance Calculator
A shared spreadsheet grew into a pricing tool used by sales teams worldwide.
Database-backed rates and tested formulas give sales teams clear discount ranges, with every calculation recorded for the pricing team.

Same formulas. Clearer guidance.
03 / The person behind it
Hi, I'm Kevin.
I've spent 15+ years in support and technical operations. The part I keep coming back to is understanding why something is frustrating, then doing something about it.
These days I'm a Senior Technical Operations Engineer at Enode. Outside of that, I build tools, tinker with my own systems, and write here to work through what I'm learning.
