Senior Staff Engineer · Platform Engineering & SRE
Fourteen years keeping enterprise infrastructure alive in production — Linux, virtualization, Kubernetes and OpenStack, most of it on call. I build the paved road: automation that removes the repetitive work, and observability that surfaces failure before a customer does.
About
I design, operate and troubleshoot mission-critical platforms — the infrastructure other teams depend on and rarely think about until it breaks.
Fourteen years across enterprise infrastructure, virtualization, Linux and production support, from carrier networks at Ericsson to ad-tech at scale to hybrid cloud at IBM. The through-line is reliability: making systems legible, making failure recoverable, and making the fix repeatable so nobody has to remember it at 3am.
Day to day that means Kubernetes, Terraform, OpenStack and cloud platforms across AWS, Azure and GCP — automating repetitive operations, simplifying how infrastructure gets managed, and giving engineering teams a path to production that doesn't route through a ticket queue. I write Go for platform operators and CLI tooling, and Python and Bash for everything that shouldn't need a human.
Outside of work I make practical visual guides on Kubernetes, Linux, Docker, Git, Terraform and cloud infrastructure, for engineers trying to get a grip on concepts that are usually explained badly.
