Hello, World

Updated April 18, 2026 — revised for the Astro migration and to clarify hosting.

This is the first post from the new evattlabs.com. The site is built with Astro, styled with Tailwind CSS, and deployed to Cloudflare Pages.

Why build a personal site in 2026?

I’ve been building software for nearly 20 years, but I’ve never had a proper home on the internet. That changes now. This site is where I’ll write about:

• Infrastructure and homelab — private clouds, Kubernetes, networking, and the joy of running your own servers
• Developer tools and MCP — building tools that make APIs more accessible to AI agents
• Platform engineering — lessons from a decade of cloud infrastructure in healthcare
• Open source — projects, contributions, and the culture that shaped me

The stack

This site runs on a pretty simple stack:

• Astro with MDX for content
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• Cloudflare Pages for hosting (CDN edge, auto-deploy on push)
• GitHub Actions for CI/CD
• Everything managed as code in a git repository

Separately, I also run a homelab. Check out the homelab page for the current stack.
