I build predictable infrastructure that doesn't wake people up at 3 AM.

I care about systems that are understandable, reproducible, safe to change, and reliable under load. Deterministic builds mean fewer surprises in production.

How I work

• Boring systems survive.
• Good architecture eliminates entire classes of failure.
• Infrastructure should explain itself. No guessing.
• Security from Day Zero, not bolted on later.

On quality

There's a growing gospel that quality is dead: ship, AI will handle the rest. I take the opposite bet.

"If you don't care about quality, you can meet any other requirement." — Gerald Weinberg

We aren't yet where AI builds, tests, deploys and maintains better than we do. What we have now is synthetically-generated code that no one reviewed and no one understands. When it breaks, the fix is another loop that compounds the problem.

In the age of AI, understanding your systems matters more, not less. That's how you build reliable, performant, and secure products.

Happy to discuss and be proven wrong — with specifics, not slogans.

If quality matters to you, read Nathan Sobo's The Case for Software Craftsmanship in the Era of Vibes (Zed Industries).

Outside work

I read — Murakami, Auster, Carver, Harari — watch classic noir, play guitar, and shoot with my Nikon Z8.
