About
I build the platforms that engineers build on.
I’m a Principal Systems & Platform Engineer focused on creating the infrastructure, automation, and engineering systems that make it easier for teams to build and operate technology.
Today, I lead engineers building enterprise platforms across cloud infrastructure, application runtimes, software delivery, developer self-service, security, and automation. The goal is simple: give engineers paved roads that make the right way the easiest way.
Engineering perspective
My career has evolved alongside the platforms I’ve helped build.
I started in systems engineering, working across infrastructure, databases, and enterprise application platforms. Those experiences taught me that reliability, security, automation, and usability aren’t separate concerns. Together, they are the platform.
As infrastructure moved to the cloud, my work expanded into cloud foundations, identity and governance, infrastructure automation, container platforms, software delivery, and developer self-service.
Today, I bring those disciplines together to build cohesive engineering platforms rather than collections of individual tools.
Looking forward
I’m particularly interested in what happens when AI becomes another capability of the engineering platform.
That includes AI agents, agentic infrastructure, portable skill systems, AI developer tools, and the governance needed to let agents safely operate within enterprise environments.
I believe AI will change how engineers interact with platforms just as automation, cloud, and CI/CD changed how we build and operate software. I’m exploring that transition and writing about what I learn along the way.
