Hello! I am a software engineer with background on distributed systems, software delivery. I'm good at turning business problems into technical ones, and support engineering teams to solve them.

I work as a Principal SWE at Midokura. We build systems to manage fleets of edge devices, deploy AI vision models, and deliver real time inferences to cloud systems. All part of Sony's Edge AI sensing platform. I previously worked at New Relic, Adevinta, Last.fm and some others. For more info, check out the about section.

I write about software engineering. Updates are available via mailing list using the form below, or via RSS feed (expect low frequency, long form content.) I'm also at Bluesky and Twitter/X.
