About

I’ve spent 25+ years shipping software across aerospace, telecom, and media — from white-label chat platforms handling 400M requests a day and ad systems serving 3B+ impressions a month, to industrial IoT pipelines feeding real-time dashboards on the factory floor. High-traffic, mission-critical, and usually the kind of thing that has to work at 3 am.
