About

I am an engineer who likes to code, learn new technologies, and pick up new skills as I go. I believe in open source and in the idea that almost anything is achievable if you are willing to dig in, share what you learn, and keep iterating.

Day to day I am a systems engineer and developer focused on infrastructure that stays reliable, observable, and automated. I have been recognized as a Grafana Champion and enjoy turning messy operational data into Grafana dashboards teams actually use.

Most days that means Kubernetes, Linux, Python, and Go — building pipelines and platform pieces that hold up under load, with clear runbooks, measurable goals, and less repetitive toil.

Outside of work I love classic Audis, playing with standalone ECUs, and the kind of tuning where small changes add up to something that feels right — not unlike refining a Grafana view until it tells the story you need.
