Jake Paine

I like writing the code.

Programmer & software engineer in Birmingham, UK.

Website Projects Writing

I build software, infrastructure and developer tooling — usually close enough to production that Linux, networks, databases, security and deployment are part of the same problem.

At Instiller my work spans backend development, infrastructure, operations and security. Outside work I build open-source tools, experiment with agent-driven development and occasionally disappear down a Rust-shaped rabbit hole.

What I work with

My work tends to cross the boundary between software and systems. I’m as comfortable working through an application problem as I am diagnosing a Linux host, designing storage, tracing a network issue or planning a production migration.

Software PHP, Go, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Bash
Backend Laravel, Symfony, Zend, REST APIs, OAuth2, JWT, queues, workers, CLI tooling
Frontend Vue, React, HTML, CSS, Sass, Vite
Linux & infrastructure RHEL, Rocky Linux, Fedora, ArchLinux, Debian, Ubuntu, Docker, Ansible, AWS
Data & storage Percona / MySQL, Redis, Memcached, SQLite, ZFS, DRBD, LVM
Networking & security TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs, firewalls, reverse proxies, Linux hardening, application security
Delivery & operations GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, immutable releases, Prometheus, Grafana, high availability, disaster recovery
Developer tooling Git, Go CLI/daemon development, plugin systems, CI tooling, agent-driven development, OpenCode, MCP
More systems & infrastructure

AWS
EC2 · S3 · IAM · ECR · Route 53 · CloudFront · CodeDeploy

Storage
ZFS replication & snapshots · Linux MD RAID · DRBD · LVM · NFS · Samba · encrypted volumes · Tang / Clevis

Networking
Routing · subnets · NAT · WatchGuard · managed switching · iptables · nftables · firewalld · OpenVPN

Security
SSH hardening · firewall policy · secrets management · dependency scanning · vulnerability remediation · OWASP · Fail2Ban · Dependabot

Web infrastructure
Nginx · Apache · Varnish · Squid · keepalived · PowerMTA

Currently exploring: Rust · Tokio · Axum

I enjoy the parts of engineering where the boundaries get blurry: applications that need to survive production, infrastructure that benefits from software thinking, and systems where storage, networking and deployment are all part of the same problem.
