About me

created 2015-03-02 · updated 2025-06-02

I build and operate distributed systems at scale, with a focus on reliability, architecture, and long-term organizational capability.

For more than 15 years, I have led engineering teams and designed systems in banking, telecom, and enterprise IT -- covering the entire lifecycle from design and launch to sustained evolution.

My approach is shaped by direct experience: hands-on development, database and infrastructure optimization, and production troubleshooting under pressure.

I treat system failures and recoveries as core engineering signals. They provide insight into how systems behave under stress and how they adapt and recover.

My goal extends beyond maintaining uptime: I aim for a deep understanding of the conditions that cause systems to break and evolve.

Engineering scales through more than code and tools. It requires explicit knowledge transfer, operational transparency, and trust -- both within teams and across technical boundaries.

Outages and regressions often arise from gaps in reasoning, capability drift, or loss of organizational context rather than isolated bugs.

My work is aimed at surfacing these hidden factors. I design frameworks that connect technology, process, and people, making system health measurable and operational at every layer.
