About

I’ve been in infrastructure for a long time - long enough that my first website was on Geocities, hammered out in vi and HTML. From there it was phpNuke, a string of increasingly bad blogging engines, WordPress, Ghost, and eventually here.

By day I work with a globally distributed infrastructure engineering team at a company you likely know, where I’ve been for going on 13 years. My team focuses on AI and systems validation for large-scale platforms that can actually be deployed and supported across a global datacenter footprint - getting the tooling, processes, and cross-functional coordination right so that things land cleanly and stay supportable once they’re in production.

Before that role I was in datacenter ops, and before that I spent time in solutions architecture and pre-sales, mostly around storage and virtualization. I started as a sysadmin on Solaris. The through line has always been infrastructure and making systems and process easier for collaboration.

Life happened for about 12 years, but I’m writing again. I’ve moved to GitHub Pages and retired most old posts, though a few worth keeping got migrated over.

Outside of work I run a small homelab, tinker with open source tools, ferment all the things, and write here when something’s worth writing down.
