Overview

I've spent 14 years on cloud infrastructure - first at Capital One, now at Oakline Digital. Moved 87% of infrastructure traffic off a legacy monolith without a customer-facing incident. Built the experimentation framework 38 product teams use to ship changes safely. Before that: PayPal and Uber. Most at home with incident response and Prometheus. Swimming before work keeps me sane.
