Bio: I have 8 years of experience working on large-scale distributed storage systems at Google as a Site Reliability Engineer. My current focus is establishing and negotiating SRE engagements with developer teams. On the technical side of things, I lead a team that works on fleet expansion, while maintaining a good balance between release velocity and reliability.

After hours, I play jam sessions.
