About

I’ve spent most of my career designing, securing, and operating complex infrastructure. My work has taken me from Linux systems and enterprise networks to cloud platforms, distributed applications, and security engineering. Along the way, I’ve found that the technologies I enjoy most are the ones that are simple in principle, thoughtfully engineered, and built to last.

What you’ll find

I enjoy understanding how things work beneath the surface. Whether it’s a protocol, an operating system, a radio, or a piece of embedded hardware, I like tracing ideas back to first principles and building from there. That curiosity is what drives many of the projects you’ll find here.

This site is where I document that work. Some posts are tutorials, others are project logs, architecture notes, or essays on technology and the policies that influence it. Most everything here reflects something I’ve built, explored, or found worth thinking about.

Off the clock

When I’m away from the keyboard, you’ll usually find me reading history or philosophy, experimenting with new hardware, or enjoying time outdoors. I believe the best engineering comes from understanding more than just technology.
