Transforming distributed systems into usable products

About

I build high-performance systems and own their user-facing interfaces — APIs, SDKs and operational workflows.

At Cloudflare, I shipped web bot authentication and its open-source libraries, sped up the adaptive routing platform behind Argo Smart Routing, and delivered the privacy infrastructure for Apple Private Relay.

At PlanGrid and Autodesk, I focused on making reliability-critical infrastructure safe, fast, and self-serve: automatic circuit breakers, canary platforms and disaster recovery.

Complex systems should be painless and delightful.
