Builder obsessed with resilient software, thoughtful teams, and products that make people faster.
Senior Systems Engineer @ Getty Images, currently shepherding Kubernetes-based artifact management and build tooling.
- Leads Getty Images' Kubernetes and build-tooling platform workstreams in AWS.
- Steers ambitious ideas toward reliable, maintainable implementations balancing speed with resilience.
- Blends systems thinking, AI curiosity, and product empathy to keep solutions practical.
- Enjoys hands-on prototyping just as much as shaping long-term engineering strategy.
- Champions human collaboration, deep code reviews, and observability-first cultures.
| Area | What excites me |
|---|---|
| Distributed & event-driven systems | Turning messy real-world signals into trustworthy, low-latency decisions. |
| Developer experience | Building tooling, guidelines, and automation that let teams move confidently. |
| Kubernetes platforms & cloud build systems | Operating clusters, supply chains, and delivery guardrails that keep releases safe and fast. |
- Bias for observability – instrument early so every release comes with data, not suspense.
- Design for change – modular interfaces, generous test coverage, and CI/CD that keeps refactors safe.
- Document the why – decisions, playbooks, and architecture notes live beside the code.
- Deploying build tools like Gitlab Enterprise and Artifactory on AWS EKS with sane defaults and guardrails.
- Hardening platform foundations: API boundaries, golden paths, and progressive delivery.
- Systems: distributed services, streaming pipelines, edge & IoT orchestration.
- Platform: Kubernetes (EKS), build systems, CI/CD, IaC, observability, incident response, SLO automation.
- Open to chatting about platform modernization or developer productivity bets.
