About

Father / Systems Engineer / Staff SRE / Engineering Manager.

Professional Summary

I’ve been a developer, Systems Administrator, SRE, and people manager. I can spend all day in a hex editor, or drafting roadmaps for teams to work together on. I’ve led small teams and cross-team projects; I do coaching and mentoring on everything from career goals to communication skills.

I like to take a step back and ask what problem we’re really trying to solve.
