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.
