I take pride in designing scalable and reliable systems that are as simple as possible, and ones that are observable to prove their quality. With 24 years experience in systems administration, and 18 years specifically in SRE practices. I was fortunate to experience well formed, large SRE teams at Google and contribute to building small, optimistically improving and culture-building of a startup. I’m passionate about practicing efficient engineering processes that reduce toil, and are not hacking into a future problem. On the teams I collaborate with or mentor, I’m a continuing advocate of holding each other accountable for high standards in every peer and design review.
