The Long Version.

I build systems from first principles.

My background spans infrastructure engineering, automation, and large-scale system reliability, with a focus on eliminating operational overhead and replacing fragile processes with deterministic, scalable solutions.

I currently work as a Site Reliability Engineer, supporting systems at global scale. Previously, I served as the sole infrastructure engineer for a private equity platform managing thousands of users across a portfolio of companies. In that role, I designed and implemented automated onboarding pipelines, standardized infrastructure patterns, and executed rapid post-acquisition integrations under tight timelines with minimal support.

My work tends to center around a few core ideas:

  • Automation over repetition — if a task happens more than once, it should be codified
  • Determinism over guesswork — systems should behave predictably under pressure
  • Simplicity over abstraction — complexity should be justified, not assumed

Technically, I work across:

  • Kubernetes and distributed systems
  • Infrastructure as Code and GitOps workflows
  • Observability, metrics, and system introspection
  • Data pipelines and log processing systems
  • Backend services and systems tooling

I am particularly interested in the intersection of infrastructure and software — building platforms that enable engineers to move quickly without sacrificing reliability.

Most of my experience comes from environments where constraints are real: small teams, large systems, and no room for inefficiency. That has shaped how I approach problems — favoring pragmatic, high-leverage solutions over theoretical completeness.

What I’m Optimizing For

  • High-impact engineering work
  • Environments that prioritize building over maintaining
  • Systems that scale cleanly without constant human intervention
