Systems engineering • Rust • Infrastructure • AI
I’m a systems engineer who pairs 25+ years of production infrastructure experience with low-level software engineering—most visibly in a working Wayland desktop and a durable vector database built from the storage layer up.
The combination is the point
Infrastructure taught me to design for failure, recovery, observability, and the person on call. Rust, Linux graphics, databases, and AI let me carry those instincts into products where the operating system, application, and hardware meet.
Enterprise operations
25+ years designing, recovering, consolidating, and automating business-critical environments.
Product engineering
A working desktop, durable search engine, and local-first AI systems—not tutorial projects.
