Notes from the work.

01 Oct 11, 2026 Inside ReelHive: an agent harness built with Strands GraphHow six agent roles, Strands graphs, production scripts, and quality gates work together to turn a brief into a narrated video in ReelHive. Technical blog · 7 min 02 Oct 11, 2026 What building a video agent taught me about agent harnessesBuilding a video pipeline with Strands Graph changed where I put the effort: state, checks, recovery and approvals. Why I think agent harnesses come next. Journal · 6 min 03 Sep 29, 2026 Start compliant: a Terraform Fargate baseline that passes the scanner on day oneHow the open-source Terraform ECS Fargate starter now ships the controls WardBee by ScanComb checks for, so new services begin with evidence instead of a remediation backlog. Technical blog · 6 min 04 Sep 09, 2026 I scanned an AWS account with 4 open-source FinOps tools. Here's what each one missed.Infracost, Komiser, Cloud Custodian and OpenCost, run against the same account. Each found something the others could not see, and all four shared the same blind spots. Journal · 6 min 05 Aug 26, 2026 How I audit an AWS account with Prowler, ScoutSuite and SteampipeA practical walkthrough of the three open-source tools I reach for when someone hands me an unfamiliar AWS account and asks "is this okay?"
