Overview

I've spent 9 years on cloud infrastructure - first at Robinhood, now at Quartz Logistics. Grew the infrastructure team from 6 to 22 engineers. Wrote the Kubernetes service that now handles 60 million requests a day. Before that: Walmart and Atlassian. Most at home with AWS and Terraform. I play football every Sunday.
