Overview

I've spent 28 years on platform engineering - first at Twiga Foods, now at Alder Labs. Shipped a rewrite that took build times from 19 minutes to under 5. Reduced cloud spend on developer platform by 21% in two quarters. Before that: Safaricom and Mastercard. Most at home with Kubernetes and CI/CD. I coach a junior basketball team.
