Overview

15 years in software engineering, the last 3 at Orchard Works, where I lead the infrastructure team. Moved 61% of infrastructure traffic off a legacy monolith without a customer-facing incident. Wrote the Terraform service that now handles 36 million requests a day. Before that: UBS and ASML. I play football every Sunday.
