Now
Hi, I am Matthias.
I'm a photographer turned developer relations engineer. I've gotten to do some really cool things along the way, and now I'm working on the future of the web.
This site is my cozy corner on the web — a collection of thoughts, projects, and ideas. You can keep up with my career on my resume.
Currently based in Southern California, where I spend a lot of time cooking or behind the lens when I'm not at my desk.

The Apple Foundation Models work really nicely for local image classification. Finally have a tool that can tag + caption almost 20 years of images in my Lightroom catalog.

Of all the self hosted things I've explored recently, I think an OPDS might be the coolest

Dusting off my Daylight DC-1. Thinking it could make a nice remote agent terminal.

My little brother got married. A beautiful night to cap a beautiful day.

Farfield runs on my home server. Alongside it is a Hermes agent. It is probably more accurate to say that Hermes runs Farfield on the server, the agent harness is set up to manage the Caddy + Cloudflare tunnel infra.
One of the features that this Hermes agent has is the Claude Code skill. This lets it spin up Claude Code sessions, offloading compute to my oath'ed subscription, rather than raw token spend.
To test it out, I had the agent develop a new Farfield app locally. It put together a Photo of the Day calendar, pulling from NASA: https://calendar.farfield.systems/
I love this. Not only did it produce a full app in the background while I cooked dinner, it showcased the flexibility of that is developing around Farfield. Personalized software.
