About
I’m Holden Salomon, a software and systems engineer based in Atlanta. I build and ship open-source projects on my own, end to end: the design, the code and tests, the packaging and CI, the documentation, and the releases.
My recent work covers four areas:
- Linux virtualization. Tendril is a Rust system that turns one multi-GPU machine into several gaming stations, each a VM with a real GPU passed through.
- Computer vision. winnow uses ArcFace embeddings and clustering to choose training photos for face recognition.
- Self-hosted infrastructure. I run my own storage, backups and services, and patched TrueNAS to back up to Backblaze B2.
- Tooling for AI coding agents. A model broker, a permission guard, a fleet control plane and an incident ledger, all built to make coding agents cheaper and safer to run.
I also have agile project-management experience, which helps me connect deep technical work with clear communication to the people who depend on it.
