About

I have worked at Meta as both a Production Engineer which is a hybrid role between a Software Engineer and an SRE as well as a pure Software Engineer. I've worked on the upstream Linux Kernel as well as Meta's custom AI/ML ASIC stack. I have over 15 years of experience building software solutions for a variety of companies in just as many languages. I value true deep learning as opposed to just strict memorization to get the job done. By truly learning a topic you can then build and iterate using it to author amazing things.

I've worked in Storage, AI/ML, Kernel and Kernel Tooling, service deployment on a global scale and even driver and firmware authoring for AI/ML ASICs. I have professional experience with many of the modern leading containerization and virtualization technologies such as Kubernetes, OpenStack and VMWare as well as extensive experience developing for Linux as a platform and working in a zero-or-low-OS firmware environment.
