About

I build and scale the systems that keep networks running and businesses connected. My background spans cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, networking, and data center technologies, with a passion for solving complex problems and helping teams do their best work. I enjoy working at the intersection of engineering, operations, and product strategy—turning ideas into reliable, scalable solutions that make a real impact. Outside of work, you'll usually find me exploring new technology, spending time outdoors, or planning the next adventure.
