Notes from the intersection of End User Computing, Infrastructure as Code and DevOps. Written by Jeroen Meppelink — engineer, Home Assistant tinkerer, and tireless believer that if a human does it twice it belongs in code.
How a personal second brain pattern turned into a shared knowledge system for an entire development team, connected to every developer's AI through MCP.

An MCP-connected shared knowledge base of engineering standards — so every developer's AI writes code your team's way from the first session.
I'm a Lead Infrastructure Engineer focused on End User Computing, Infrastructure as Code and DevOps at enterprise scale. My days look like Ansible roles, pipelines, Citrix WEM and the occasional deep dive into why a session is slow. The goal is a platform that runs itself and an application team that doesn't need to file a ticket to ship.
At home I'm a Home Assistant hobbyist and open-source tinkerer. I build custom integrations in Python and JavaScript, including ns-reisadvies — a Dutch train travel advisor that runs on my own network. I write here when something from the day job is worth sharing.
