Yeah, the name sounds like a purity ring for your hard drive. Relax.
It means the code we ship isn’t disposable garbage—it’s set apart, built to outlast the hype cycle and actually serve people.
Built on ideals of freedom, privacy, and honor.
Accomplished with care, love, respect, dignity, empathy, and patience.
Every line of code we write is an act of stewardship. We believe technology should protect people, not exploit them. Empower communities, not isolate them. Serve a purpose beyond profit.
The name HolyBits carries a double meaning. In a world of throwaway software and surveillance capitalism, we create bits and bytes that are set apart—built with intention, built to last, built for good.
Your data is yours. Your infrastructure is yours. No vendor lock-in, no dark patterns, no surveillance.
We build with the end user in mind—real people with real needs. Every decision filtered through care and respect.
Treat every client, user, and contributor with the dignity they deserve. Honest work. No shortcuts.
Good software takes time. We invest in understanding deeply before building. The fruit of that patience is systems that endure.
Production-grade systems. Not slide decks. Every engagement ships working code.
Custom controllers that manage your infrastructure declaratively. CRD design, reconciliation loops, leader election, drift detection. Five production operators shipped and counting.
Cloudflare Tunnel operators, biometric-backed kubectl access, CSI-based secrets management. Every credential encrypted—never plaintext. SOC2 and HiTrust experienced.
Declarative, version-controlled infrastructure from bare metal to multi-cloud. Led migrations across AWS, Azure, and GCP with zero downtime.
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo—complete observability stacks. Alerting that wakes the right person. Runbooks that actually get used.
“You get me. Not a team of juniors. Not a project manager who translates your requirements into something unrecognizable.”
Direct communication, working code in days not quarters, and systems that are observable, recoverable, and maintainable long after our engagement ends.
No account managers. No layers. You talk to the person writing the code.
Proof of concept in days. Production-ready in weeks.
Tests, documentation, operational runbooks. You own the code completely.
Fewer clients, deeper involvement, real outcomes.
Enterprise Kubernetes patterns scaled to your home. Meet Krubecible—our reference homelab architecture.
Harvester HCI running RKE2 Kubernetes. ArgoCD for GitOps. Istio Ambient for zero-trust mesh. Kyverno for policy. Longhorn for distributed storage. Cloudflare Tunnels for connectivity—zero inbound ports.
Plex media server with 1.1TB optimized library. Nextcloud for cloud storage. Vaultwarden for passwords. Harbor container registry. Home Assistant for automation. All on a single node.
Bitwarden CSI driver for secret injection. Kyverno PSS Baseline enforcement. Istio mTLS across all services. Cloudflare Zero Trust for external access. No plaintext secrets anywhere.
Prometheus + Grafana dashboards. Loki for log aggregation. Tempo for distributed tracing. AlertManager routing to push notifications. Hardware health monitoring via IPMI and S.M.A.R.T.
Custom ESP32 firmware. BLE protocol reverse engineering. Home Assistant integrations for smart beds, HVAC, and security cameras. Bluetooth proxies throughout the house.
Six open-source Kubernetes operators: Bitwarden CSI, UniFi port-forward controller, VyOS config operator, Cloudflare Tunnel operator, Longhorn Volume Intent, and Homestead autodiscovery.
Our homelab is built on dozens of open-source projects—Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Home Assistant, Nextcloud, Longhorn, and many more. The core glue that binds these into a single cohesive system is and will remain open source.
We believe in giving back. As the platform matures, we intend to open-source components of the SaaS for community contribution. The goal is a thriving ecosystem where everyone benefits.
What if technology could help people know Jesus and make Him known?
We believe the same engineering excellence that builds enterprise platforms can build tools that transform lives. Technology should bring people closer together, closer to truth, and closer to God.
HolyBits is actively exploring ministry opportunities—creating tools that help people be more like Jesus. Not more apps for consumption. Tools for transformation.
Imagine a video platform like Marco Polo, purpose-built for Bible study. Asynchronous so everyone can participate on their schedule. AI-crafted weekly summaries that highlight each person’s contributions. Metrics and insights to help you grow intentionally with the Lord.
No leader required. Join a Bible study with an infinitely large, global group of people. AI-guided discussions follow structured curricula. Everyone grows together, at their own pace, anywhere in the world.
A private video journal to capture your spiritual journey. Record reflections, prayers, and moments of growth. Look back and see how God has moved in your life over months and years.
These ideas are in early stages. If this resonates with you—if you want to help build technology that changes the world for Christ—we’d love to hear from you.
Start a ConversationFounder & Principal Engineer
I started building and fixing computers for local businesses in 2012. Over thirteen years, I’ve evolved through every layer of the stack—from desktop support to designing multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms that process data at scale.
I’ve led cloud infrastructure teams, migrated production systems between AWS, Azure, and GCP, built compliance programs for SOC2 and HiTrust from scratch, and shipped five production Kubernetes operators in Go.
I’m a team builder and systems thinker who cares about the problem and the people. I build lasting solutions at scale—and I replace myself long-term, leaving your team stronger than I found it.
HolyBits exists because I believe technology should serve something greater than itself. Every bit matters. Every system should be built with intention, precision, and love.
