As a Principal Platform Engineer, I operate at the intersection of platform architecture, Site Reliability Engineering, and hands-on software development. My mission is to build the "paved road"—a secure, scalable, and automated internal developer platform (IDP) that empowers engineering teams to ship software with velocity and confidence. I don't just design the systems; I write the code that brings them to life.
My work is centered around a fusion of three core principles:
-
🏛️ Architect & Builder I design and construct the foundational infrastructure primitives (Kubernetes, IaC, Networking) and the cohesive toolchains (CI/CD, GitOps) that serve as the backbone of the engineering organization. My philosophy is to treat infrastructure as a software engineering problem, delivering clean, maintainable, and efficient code in Go, Python, and Bash.
-
🛡️ Reliability as a Feature With a deep background in SRE, I engineer systems that are observable, scalable, and self-healing by default. I apply SLOs/SLIs to the platform itself, ensuring it provides a rock-solid, highly-available foundation for all services.
-
🚀 Developer Empowerment My ultimate goal is to be a force multiplier. I reduce cognitive load for developers by creating frictionless, self-service workflows and powerful abstractions. By providing a world-class developer experience, I enable teams to focus on innovation, not on infrastructure.
This is the curated toolchain I use to architect and build world-class platforms.
