About

For nearly 7 years as an SRE, and 12 years total in software engineering - I've focused on one thing: making systems reliable enough that teams can ship fast without breaking things. At Maersk (4+ years), I've helped scale infrastructure for global logistics: → Built CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions + Terraform, cutting deployment time by 40% → Managed AKS clusters across regions with zero-downtime deployments → Implemented full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo), reducing MTTR by 30% → Partnered with product teams to define SLIs/SLOs that actually drive reliability improvements Before Maersk, I scaled Shuttl's microservices from the ground up using Nomad, Consul, and Terraform. Ran 24/7 on-call and automated away the repetitive work so we could focus on real engineering problems. My path into SRE was unconventional - I started in QA at early-stage startups (1mg, Shuttl), embedded in product teams, watching software hold up (or break) under real traffic. That's what pulled me toward infrastructure. I didn't just want to find problems; I wanted to build systems that prevented them.
