about
I'm a software engineer working on cloud infrastructure and AI. I like working on new problems, especially building software, pipelines, deployments and the systems around them. Lately my focus has been on AI and everything that comes with it, specifically agents: how they're built, deployed and run in production, and the infrastructure that keeps them reliable and observable. I'm also learning more about how to build reliable systems. I write when I have the time, and my full work history is on the experience page.
I mostly write Python, Go and TypeScript, and work day to day with Kubernetes, AWS, GCP and Terraform.
Earlier this year I was a CNCF LFX Mentee, where I built the Kubernetes multi-cluster plugin for PipeCD. I'm now an LFX Mentor for Term 3, guiding work on a PipeCD plugin for Headlamp, the Kubernetes UI. I also contribute to GitLab's AI Gateway and CLI, and I've given talks on AWS services, serverless and more.
