I break things for a living, then I make them unbreakable. 12+ years of building infrastructure across commercial and defense, from bare metal racks and global hosting platforms to air-gapped Kubernetes clusters running AI platforms for DoD customers doing things I probably can't talk about.

Currently at Raft, leading a DevSecOps team shipping AI-powered data platforms across classification levels where "it went down" isn't an inconvenience, it's a mission failure. I've provisioned 500+ node clusters across 5 global regions, automated what used to take days into minutes, and deleted more code than most people write.

I'm obsessed with agentic AI and what it means for how we build. The engineers who figure out how to wield agents will build things the rest of the industry can't even scope.

Move fast and break things. Momentum beats perfection. You learn more from what breaks than from what you were afraid to touch.
One line deleted beats ten lines written. If you didn't break something, you probably didn't delete enough.
Results over solutions. Nobody cares how clever the architecture is if it doesn't ship. Solve the problem, prove it works, move on.
Security is architecture, not a checkbox. If your pipeline can ship insecure code, your pipeline is the vulnerability.
Agents will replace engineers who don't use them. The tools are here. Learn to wield them or get left behind.
