I’ve been doing this work for more than 25 years.</p> <p>I’ve worked with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD systems, and large-scale operational environments. Over time, I’ve become less interested in clever technology and more interested in useful technology.</p> <p>I’m interested in systems that must survive contact with reality. Networks. Data centers. Cloud platforms. Deployment pipelines. None of them are interesting in isolation. They matter when people depend on them. They matter when they fail in ways you didn’t anticipate.</p>
