Scale

Working at Google has given me a unique opportunity to build services at scale. The SRE team I work on supports Google Cloud Storage, as well as some even larger internal services. I have proven experience balancing reliability and performance with engineering agility, all while working at scale.

Reliability

I build reliable systems. I have a proven understanding of how to overcome the most common outage root-causes through redundancy, automation, regionalization, and change canarying. I focus on simplicity and supportability, which minimizes both mean-time-to-recovery and support costs.

Open Source

I'm passionate about the open-source community. In my free time, I've contributed to well-known open source projects like the Linux kernel, Gentoo Linux, and libgit2. Additionally, I have quite a few hobby projects I host on GitHub with open source licenses.
