Building an AI-powered workflow that automates the tedious parts of DevOps, from deployment pipelines to infrastructure management.
Builder and platform engineer with a track record of shipping products from scratch and seeing them through to scale. Works across the full stack from kernel to user interface.
Builds AI infrastructure and local-first AI systems. Experience with PyTorch, ML pipelines, RAG architectures, vector databases, and GPU orchestration. Created Tera, a local-first AI assistant built with Rust. Passionate about privacy-preserving AI that runs on-device.
Work spans: AI Infrastructure (local LLMs, ML pipelines, RAG, PyTorch), Platform Engineering (Kubernetes, observability, service mesh, GPU orchestration), and Systems (eBPF, Rust, Go, Linux internals).
Founded and ran a gaming community for 6 years, building infrastructure that served thousands of users. Built observability tools now used by developers daily. Approaches problems end-to-end, from design to production to on-call. Prefers building solutions over talking about them.
Senior Software Engineer at WSO2, building Choreo developer platform. Architected eBPF-powered observability processing 500GB/day. Led Cilium CNI migration on 10,000+ pod cluster. Speaker at Conf42, KCD, and cloud-native events.
