I work on datastores and distributed systems. Keeping large clusters from misbehaving, troubleshooting the ones that do, and lately, building AI agents to handle the incidents so I don't have to. Driven by a deep curiosity for how complex systems behave under pressure, mostly because they keep finding new ways to surprise me.
