Building with care.
Thinking in systems.

An interest in the systems that connect us, and the principles that make them easier to understand.

Reliability

Reliable systems begin with questions: what can fail, how will we notice, and how can we recover? Clear boundaries and understandable behavior make those questions easier to answer.

Automation

Automation is useful when it makes repeated work consistent. Good tools make their behavior visible and leave room for people to handle exceptions.

Clarity

A system should be understandable to the people who maintain it. Simple interfaces, thoughtful documentation, and explicit assumptions help preserve that understanding over time.

Make the system easier to understand, and the next decision easier to make.

Areas of interest

Cloud infrastructure, networking, distributed systems, automation, and reliability.
