PacketLoss404

Agent tools, built to run.

PacketBench is the workspace for building with coding agents. Sugar is the model gateway behind them. I build and operate the infrastructure that supports both.

The engineer behind the lab

Ian S. Walmsley

Platform Engineer

My work in enterprise infrastructure spans VMware and Omnissa Horizon, Azure, identity, and PowerShell automation. PacketLoss404 applies that operating discipline to agent tools, model routing, and self-hosted systems: clear permissions, recoverable state, and deployments I can support.

My résumé says platform engineer. This lab shows the software I build: daily-use tools, working products, and early builds, each described at its current stage.

LinkedIn has the track record. This site is the proof of what I do with it now.
