Hello, World! I’m Matt.
I’m a macOS and Linux engineer focused on building simple, repeatable systems using IaC and GitOps.
I spend most of my time in the terminal writing scripts, testing workflows in VMs, and using tools like Salt, Ansible, Terraform, and MDM platforms to manage Macs the same way we manage code. I also build and manage Linux NAS systems using infrastructure as code.

- Automating a NAS with SaltStack – Example of how to build a ZFS based NAS using Salt.
- Salty Fleet - Example repo showing how to spin up a Fleet DM container along with packer files to spin up a mac VM, enrol it in Fleet and manage the VM using Salt.
