About Me

I'm a Systems Engineer specializing in large data center environments. My work spans the full infrastructure stack — from physical hardware and network fabric to virtualization layers, container orchestration, and the operational tooling that keeps it all running reliably at scale.

I focus on building resilient, observable, and automated systems that engineering teams can depend on. Whether it's a multi-rack deployment, a high-density compute cluster, or a cross-datacenter failover strategy, I care about getting the fundamentals right.

Outside of infrastructure, I'm interested in platform engineering, open-source tooling, and simplifying the operational complexity that comes with running systems at scale.
