Staff SRE · Bay Area
Building reliable, scalable infrastructure. Obsessed with automation, observability, and keeping systems humming at scale.
I'm a Staff Site Reliability Engineer with deep roots in distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and large-scale service operations. My work sits at the intersection of software engineering and platform reliability — building the systems that keep everything else running.
I've spent over a decade designing and operating multi-region platforms, driving down toil through automation, and embedding reliability thinking into engineering culture. From on-call runbooks to capacity planning, I care about the full reliability lifecycle.
Outside of production systems, I contribute to open-source tooling, run a homelab, and write about operational lessons learned along the way.
Reliability and infrastructure for large-scale AI training and inference systems. GPU cluster provisioning and lifecycle management, platform security hardening, and OS fleet upgrades across heterogeneous hardware.
Progressed from SRE to Staff SRE, working across the core infrastructure stack. Owned reliability for critical platform services at global scale. Led datacenter build-outs, mass provisioning of bare-metal fleets, and DC shuffle operations. Owned OS and kernel upgrade programs including the Hadoop data platform. SRE coverage for the database tier — MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Vertica. Configuration management with Puppet, Python automation for on-call toil reduction, security hardening, and SLO frameworks.
Grew from Operations Engineer to System Architect. Large-scale hosting and web infrastructure — systems automation, capacity planning, datacenter operations, and infrastructure-as-code.
