Overview

I've spent 22 years on real-time systems - first at Mashreq, now at Meridian Learning. Brought on-call pages for real-time down from 26 a week to 4. Shipped a rewrite that took build times from 16 minutes to under 2. Before that: McKinsey & Company and Deloitte. Most at home with Erlang/OTP and Redis. I teach a weekend class on Go.
