I like to apply Go and sensible process to infrastructure, reliability, and scalability challenges.
I work at Upbound, where I'm a Sr Principal Engineer. I split my time between leading the Crossplane project's engineering direction and helping Upbound product and engineering teams build the future of cloud (on top of Crossplane).
Prior to working on Crossplane I spent around ten years writing infrastructure code on Platform and SRE teams at companies like Planet Labs, Spotify, and Google.
Outside of work I'm an amateur pinball player (I'm on a pinball team), equally amateur packrafter (I've spent a week on the South Fork of the Flathead), and enjoy tinkering with my E46 BMW M3 (I've changed a lot of fluids and trim/body panels). I can be found out and about around Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood most days.
