I am Patrick LaClair, a system administrator and software developer based in New Hampshire. I run LaClair Technologies (laclairtech.com), where I design and operate a homelab control plane, ship iOS and macOS apps under the prism suite, build productivity tooling for Obsidian, and quietly maintain web properties for hometown small businesses.
My day-to-day work moves between three layers. At the platform layer I operate Aegis, a control plane for the services I run, with CI as part of the same workflow. At the application layer I author and ship the prism suite — prismCalc, prismCapture, prismVox, prismNotebook, prismTask, prismCal, prismContact — each built in Swift and SwiftUI with a tight focus on calm, accessible UX. At the systems layer I work on observability (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, Alertmanager), automation (n8n and custom AI agents), and identity through SSO.
The apps live on the App Store: prismCalc is a calculator with an unusually careful approach to memory of past calculations; prismCapture records timelapses with manual exposure controls; prismVox is a SIP/VoIP client built for clarity over feature surface area; prismNotebook and prismTask bridge into Obsidian and the broader productivity stack. GYO is a charitable proof-of-concept for the Gilmanton Youth Organization, and giveGear explores peer-to-peer equipment sharing among friends and clubs.
Aegis is the spine. It started as a status dashboard and is now a modular control plane organized around blockers, technical debt, and coordination. The homelab beneath it is rebuilt from infrastructure as code.
I write Obsidian plugins as part of the neuroFlow ecosystem — an ADHD-aware productivity toolkit with an MCP server that any agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) can speak to. My GitHub activity (github.com/plac9 and github.com/LaClair-Technologies) sits across infrastructure, iOS app templates, agent tooling, and the occasional small-business website. I also write personal essays at Padre’s Meeting House. I keep the code I can share open and write down how the systems fit together.
