Go, Kubernetes, distributed systems, developer tooling.
I design and engineer platform software at infrastructure scale, focusing on systems that are simple to operate, deterministic, and resilient under pressure.
By day, I build backend platform infrastructure behind thousands of production Kubernetes clusters: deployment systems, controllers, identity, secrets, and fleet operations. Outside work, I build and maintain independent software across infrastructure, security, developer tooling, and specialized applications. The common thread is deliberate engineering: self-contained binaries, real dependencies, deterministic behavior, and software built to run reliably anywhere.
My enterprise work is proprietary, so none of it appears here. These public projects reflect my personal work, held to those same engineering standards.

Go is my primary language, with a heavy bias toward standard library design, integration testing against real dependencies, and self-contained binaries that run predictably anywhere.
Go is my wheelhouse, not a constraint. I use Swift and SwiftUI for native Apple interfaces, Python where it fits the problem, and whatever other tools the system actually calls for. The language changes; the engineering standard does not.
I treat LLMs as specialized components rather than foundational architecture. Models are useful where fuzzy output is acceptable. Where a system requires deterministic correctness, speed, or auditability, I solve it with code, not a prompt.
