Overview

I work on real-time systems at Ember Data in Los Angeles. Shipped 28 launches on the real-time team without a rollback. Led the migration of 67 services to Erlang/OTP. Before that: Cisco and American Express. Most at home with Redis and low-latency systems. Former debater; now I argue with spreadsheets.
