Published findings on distributed consensus and observability
I build infrastructure for systems that need to stay correct under load — distributed task queues, sharded databases, zero-trust network meshes, and observability pipelines. My work spans the full stack of reliability: from kernel-level eBPF tracing to global traffic routing.
I believe the best systems are boring — predictable, measurable, and boring. Good architecture is the art of making complexity look simple.
Previously at startups scaling from 0 to 1. Open-source contributor to Prometheus, Envoy, and the Go ecosystem. One published paper on consensus protocol optimization in geo-distributed environments.
