About
I've spent the last decade turning messy, growing products into reliable platforms from PHP monoliths to GitOps-driven Kubernetes clusters serving millions of users.
Today I lead infrastructure and engineering for kChat and previously architected the platform behind kDrive. I care about boring infrastructure: predictable rollouts, observable systems, and code that's still legible at 3 AM during an incident.
Comfortable from the kernel up to the frontend, but happiest somewhere between a Helm chart, a sharded database and a load balancer config.
