01 / about

Infrastructure
with intent.

I work at the intersection of software and operations: designing platforms teams trust, reducing the blast radius of change, and turning hard-won incident lessons into better defaults. My day-to-day lives in Kubernetes, Go, Terraform, and the feedback loops around them.
