Summary

I am a Platform and Systems Engineer with over five years of experience bridging the gap between low-level performance and cloud-native scalability. My background is defined by a versatility that spans from designing military-grade embedded systems to architecting distributed storage solutions for the media industry. I thrive in complex technical environments where I can apply a "full-cycle" engineering mindsetI don't just write application code; I design the resilient infrastructure, automated tooling, and observability systems that ensure that code runs reliably at scale.

Technically, I offer a rare combination of proficiency in systems programming (Rust, C++) and modern DevOps orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker, Python). My recent work has focused on architecting custom Kubernetes cluster-as-a-service platforms and designing non-interruptive system upgraders for high-availability appliances. This expertise is grounded in a strong foundation of performance engineering, including early career achievements where I engineered database storage engines to increase read speeds by 100x. I am seeking a role that leverages this hybrid skillset, allowing me to tackle challenging infrastructure problems while delivering robust, developer-centric platform tools.

Expectations

I am seeking a role at the intersection of systems programming (Rust/C++) and platform engineering (Kubernetes). I thrive on solving complex, distributed infrastructure challenges and am looking for a high-caliber engineering team where technical rigor and architectural integrity are standard.

I value a culture of deep collaboration and clear communication. I want to work in an environment where design decisions are debated openly, documentation is prioritized, and mentorship flows both ways. I am at my best when surrounded by engineers who care about building resilient, scalable software and who challenge each other to grow.

Finally, flexibility is key. I want a role that encourages curiosity, trusting its team to explore new technologies and innovate on difficult problems.
