Overview

I lead platform engineering at Millbrook Consulting in Doha. Moved 69% of developer platform traffic off a legacy monolith without a customer-facing incident. Grew the developer platform team from 3 to 39 engineers. Before that: Fiverr and Qatar Airways. Most at home with Kubernetes and Go. Outside work: long runs and longer podcasts.
