Alfred Tascon
Systems architect & developer — AustraliaI design and build complete platforms: the protocol, the servers, the clients, and the infrastructure they run on. Rust services, realtime systems, mobile apps, and the Kubernetes underneath — one pair of hands, end to end.
Current work
ogma chat
Team chat for self-hosted workspaces — channels, threads, Markdown, and attention-aware push notifications that stay quiet while you're at your desk. Rust server, Flutter clients for Android and iOS. sys4.au is a supporting site for the ogma chat protocol.
Workspace platform engineering
A full self-hosted suite — kanban boards, git hosting, chat, and LLM agent orchestration — built as lean Rust services with server-rendered fronts, speaking to each other over small, honest APIs.
Security & infrastructure
Two decades across security products and production infrastructure: isolation-first design, Kubernetes, container builds measured in megabytes, and deployments measured in seconds.
