I abuse emojis and will continue to do so until (1) you politely ask me to stop (2) we have unique fonts to convey tone 😛
I have a lot of opinions, but I'm eager to be persuaded to update them.
I don’t just write code; I build systems that evolve. My career has been a continuous journey of identifying the "next big thing" and mastering it to solve business problems.
My Evolution
- Foundations: Started in Linux Cluster Administration, mastering the "how" of compute at the hardware level.
- Build: Transitioned into Fullstack & Mobile Development to understand how users interact with software and how to build end-to-end products.
- Scale: Moved into Engineering Management, learning that the hardest part of software is the people and the culture of winning together.
- Cloud: Cloud Architecture & DevOps, specifically leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to create resilient, scalable systems, creating accelerators for service teams.
- Future: 👀
- Toil Elimination: I have a low tolerance for repetitive, manual work (toil). I leverage my impatience to build automation workflows and Infrastructure as Code that provide guardrails and speed for the entire team.
- Extreme Ownership: I treat every project like a business. If it’s broken, I fix it; if it’s slow, I optimize it.
- Mentorship: I believe winning is a team sport. I find as much joy in unblocking my team as I do in shipping a complex feature.
