I build systems. Over the past twenty-plus years I’ve had to make infrastructure behave in places where downtime is not an option: financial platforms moving real money, aerospace systems with zero tolerance for error, large-scale gaming and retail systems under unpredictable load, and enterprise environments where audit and regulation shape the architecture as much as technology does. My work spans both extremes of the stack. Close to the machine: Linux kernel mechanisms, namespaces, cgroups, eBPF, network and socket engineering, segmentation, and performance tuning with real latency targets. And at the same time, high-level distributed systems: event-driven architectures, Kafka internals, consensus and replication models, multi-model consistency, and the trade-offs required to make distributed systems correct and stable instead of merely “working on paper.” In recent years, that foundation has extended into production-grade AI systems. I design and operate generative AI and agentic
