Context is Everything (Conditions May Vary)
Prompt engineering is what happens in the moment. Context engineering is what you do over time to keep your agents from drifting off a cliff.
I'm terra tauri, enabling SRE at Bit Complete. I combine deep technical expertise with building high-performing teams. Previously at Grafana Labs supporting 10,000+ Kubernetes nodes. KubeCon EU speaker on eBPF observability.

I spent two weeks using GPT and Codex for my daily work. Between fabricated technical explanations, a model that insisted it could hear birds, and tooling that couldn't keep up with my workflows, I learned a lot about trust. Here's what happened.
How a self-sabotaging navigator taught me that agent identity is performed, not declared - and why Judith Butler's philosophy maps onto multi-agent systems better than I expected.
I enable SRE at Bit Complete, combining technical depth with building high-performing teams. Previously at Grafana Labs, I built network infrastructure supporting 10,000+ Kubernetes nodes, executed zero-downtime CNI migrations, and investigated softIRQ bottlenecks at 1M+ packets/second.
I'm also building AI-powered tooling (Claude Code Agent SDK), creating open-source projects (Nethax network testing framework), speaking at KubeCon, and experimenting with creative technical projects like this site.
