Polyglot engineer, AI-assisted.
I'm Panagiotis (Panos) Xynos. SRE, AI-Augmented Infrastructure. I have spent my career making fragile systems reliable. Real open-source contributions and a build toward self-healing, AI-assisted infrastructure. This is where I write about projects, experiments, and the things I build. I love Python, Go, and Rust. I also love TTRPGs, 80s nostalgia (hair metal, 8-bit computing, the early days of Linux), and I have a thing for BSD that I cannot get rid of. Here I geek out with my young Padawan, OrsonRius.
