Staff Engineer

Staff Engineer with 25+ years of experience bridging the gap between complex software architecture and robust infrastructure. I build scalable distributed systems and the platforms that keep them running. I am an IT Generalist. I prefer positions where I can touch everything and add value everywhere: hardware, software, development, operations, networking, and so on. I've worked as a developer, SRE, platform engineer, enterprise architect, solutions architect, technical lead, troubleshooter, pre-sales engineer, systems and network administrator, instructor, translator and writer, not necessarily in that order and sometimes simultaneously. I thrive in the DevOps duality. Whether I’m maintaining an L1 blockchain in Go, optimizing Rust builds for platform efficiency, writing efficient complex database queries or implementing a monitoring and alerting platform, I believe the best systems are built by those who understand both the code and the metal.
