Infrastructure and reliability engineer who came up through systems administration. I currently own configuration delivery for a large production Linux fleet, along with the deployment safety, observability, and incident response practices that keep it running. Curious about AI-assisted engineering workflows. Skeptical of most of the hype.
Operating strengths
Configuration delivery at fleet scale
Safe rollouts and change governance
Linux platform engineering
Reliability as operating practice
Observability, SLOs, and on-call
Postmortems that produce durable defaults
Migration of legacy systems under load
Stateless design and recovery-oriented architecture
AI-assisted engineering workflows
Clear written communication under incident pressure
Career
