About

Engineer, athlete,
quiet-system enthusiast.

I’m an SRE at IBM. Most of my work starts with a system that is difficult to operate and ends with fewer manual steps, clearer signals, and architecture that scales. Off-call: professional basketball, Heartfulness, F1 strategy, and whichever sport I’m learning this week. 🏀
