About nemosaltat
*Builder* • *Integrator* • *Programmer*
## Interests/Expertise: lighting control, AV, networking, and building automation. Tends to wire things first, script later, and document both. Prefers clean systems, clear contracts, and quiet gear.
## Projects & Tools - Smart homes, resorts, and hybrid commercial installs (Lutron, Savant, Ubiquiti, PDK) - Local-first software: Python (uv, Flask, SQLite), Flutter, Markdown automation - System Surveyor, Savant Blueprint, Caddy, Gooey, Quarto, Mattermost
## Habits/Intentions - Builds idempotent scripts and human-readable docs - Avoids buzzwords, cloud bloat, and overpromising - Believes good integrations vanish when done right
## Currently Mapping smarter workflows between the field, the rack, and the repo.
