I am a software engineer with 20 years building and operating distributed systems, platforms, and cloud infrastructure at scale. I am currently building GPU infrastructure and AI workload orchestration for private clouds, and integrating agentic AI into our own engineering workflows.

A significant part of my career involved working with engineering leaders and executives on technology strategy and build vs. buy decisions, then leading engineering teams through implementation and operations. Below are some writings from both perspectives.

If you're facing a strategic engineering decision, most of the advice you're getting comes from someone with a stake in the answer. Mine doesn't. If you want an outside perspective from an operator who has been on the other side, reach out.
